You start as a freshman-

how the word fits . . .

fresh from the middle school

unaware of the upperclassmen's "tricks";

but as you complete each day

you learn to cope . . .

of course, you bump into obstacles

and many times you must retrace your steps

to start again . . .

sometimes you feel the cliques ruling
rahs, jocks, freaks . . .

but, perhaps everything has a specific purpose,
helping you towards that final goal . . .
graduation.

But all this is part of high school . . .
remembering the old and learning the new
while seeing where your life will go.

Where
do we go

Terry Parker

Excuse me, could you tell me where
room 123 is? . . . Ok, explain it one more
time, how much is a hamburger, fries,
apple and milk? . . . Where's my locker?

Is. it 121 or 131? ...Was that the warning
bell, or am I really late? . . .

Confusion . . . 1776 students
experienced the bewilderment of trying
to struggle through each 24 hour day.
Often accompanied by despair, they
find themselves running around in
circles, not knowing where to go or what
to do, just like the lab mouse trying to
make it through his maze.

Poor innocent freshmen are always
ridiculed for their ignorance . . . Let's see,
to find my Algebra class, is it through the
commons, right at the hall, straight for 30
lockers, than right again? Or is it through

the commons, one left, 20 lockers, then
right? . . . Or is it . . .?

But freshmen aren't alone in trying to
decide which way to go . . . Should I run
around with this group or that group? . . .
Should I try out for Drill Team? ... Do I
really need Physics if I want to be an
engineer? . . . Why can't I take three
study halls as a sophomore?

Some students find the right turns and
end up on State Swim Champ teams,
National Merit Finalists, trophy winners,
class officers and student leaders. Others
get lost along the way and fail the history
test, get a free three day school vacation,
or simply drop out of school completely.

Which ever way they go, students are
faced with Where do we go from here?

Oh, Mom...

why can’t you decide ?

Decisions . . . decisions . . .

Remember when you were younger
. . . Mom and dad decided everything for
you . . . When to go to bed . . . what
movies you could see . . . even what
food you should eat . . .

Even when you entered high school,
mom and dad were still there to "help"
make decisions . . . "You really should

take Speech. I took it when I was in high
school and it was so much fun . . ."

Little by little, mom and dad faded
into the background, untying the apron
strings which had bound you for so long

Finally you were free to make your
own decisions, without assistance from
mom and dad . . . But then you found
that although you enjoyed the indepen-

dence, the future wasn't quite as pre-
dictable as you had originally imagined
. . . You've got to get some help ... but
you don't really want to run back to
mom and dad ... yet you can't really
handle it on your own, ... so where can
you go for the help you need?

New Directions

It's not only individuals that seek
direction, but entire communities and
countries also search for new styles and
traditions . . . We as a town were not set
off from the rest of the world . . .

Guatemala . . . the earthquake that
killed thousands and left many more
homeless was so far removed from the
Calumet Region, that the extent of the
damage was hard to imagine ... yet a
relief fund set up by Spanish students
helped bring medical supplies and food

to the needy victims . . .

Closer to home, a new principal. Dr.
Karl Hertz, was chosen to fill an opened
vacancy ... a new School Board
President was appointed ... 13 new
teachers were hired ... all hoping to
lend direction to students' lives . . .

With the school entering its second
decade . . . the USA celebrated its
second hundred years . . . The
bicentennial became more than a time
for people to reflect upon past

accomplishments and take pride in their
country . . . Manufacturers used the Buy-
centennial approach to sell anything
from toothbrushes to automobiles . . .

And no store was complete without at
least one red, white and blue display . . .

No matter what the gimmick, the
Bicentennial marked the beginning of a
new era . . . And as we considered the

Homecoming-the word itself
sets the mood. Working on
floats, dressing for spirit week,
watching the bonfire and pa-
rade, and welcoming home the
alumni were just few of the
events of Homecoming 75.
Floats, organizations, and deco-
rations all revolved around the
theme “Circus World."

lean and jersey, farmers, nos-
talgia, class color, and red and
white days were the symbols of
spirit week and the anticipation
of the weekend.

Thursday night the traditional
bonfire in the Community Park
was ablaze due to the efforts of
senior boys who volunteered
their time to construct the
woodpile. The fire was not lit
until Varsity Cheerleaders led a
few cheers and football co-cap-
tains Kevin McDonald, Mike
Mason and Bob Vitkus, seniors,
gave a pep talk to the crowd.
The bonfire provided only a
brief period of rest, as once
again Thursday night rolled into
Friday morning all too soon for
those who put finishing touches
on class floats.

Homecoming day provided
the most activity for those in-
volved. An hour before the pa-
rade started, all floats had to be
at Munster Christian Reformed
Church for judging.

Three class floats, a side show
by Publications, Science Club's
"Monty Python's Flying Circus,"
princesses cars, cheerleaders.
Marching Band, Majorettes, and
Drill Team proceeded down the
Ridge Road parade route.

After the parade, students and
teachers re-enacted childhood
days by competing on four-
member teams in Office Educa-
tion Association's (OEA) trike
race. Mike Caskey, junior, Dan
Harvey, senior, and freshmen
Chris Pokrifcak and Bob Wis-
newski known as "Charged,"
were the

while freshmen Nancy Surufka,
Beth Robertson, Mary Kay Wil-
kinson, and Kelly Zatorski, the
"Rolling Racers," were the
champions of the girls.

Mr. )ohn McDonald, shop in-
structor and Mr. Kevin Vana, so-
cial science and world history

Cooney around the track.

Tempting smells of chicken
barbeque filled the air while the
race continued. Speech and De-
bate once again held their an-
nual chicken barbeque to 1500
people in the cafeteria, while
Girls' Volleyball and Swim team
members released hundreds of
colorful helium-filled balloons.

Cheering crowds, loyal fans,
and the spirit of Homecoming
may have helped the team to
work harder. Their determina-

score over the Lowell Red Devils
was 14-6.

Gayle Rovai, Student Senate
President, announced the float
and princess results at halftime,
while selections by Chicago
were performed by Marching
Band. The princesses were
freshman Naomi Savage; Linda
)eorse, sophomore; Karen Por-
ter, junior; and the three queen
candidates were seniors Patti
DeCola, Marita de la Cotera,
and Nancy Nolan. Marita was
announced queen. Anticipation
rose as time drew near for an-
nouncement of floats. Juniors
captured first place with their
movable clown lighting a fire-
cracker. "Those clowns are in
for a Bang." Second place went
to the seniors, "It looks like the
end for the Devils" portraying a
circus elephant sitting on a devil
while its trunk moved up and
down, and sophomores' lion
trapping a devil, "Eat 'Em Up
Lion Down" received third. Pub-
lications once again won the car
competition with their entry
"Squash 'Em."

Saturday morning freshmen
decorated the cafeteria with
stuffed animals and signs. As
evening drew near, couples vis-
ited pre-Homecoming parties,
and then made their way to the
school where they were met at
the door by freshmen dressed as
clowns. "Midwest Sound" pro-
vided the music for 165 couples.
A refreshment table was set up
so couples could curb their hun-
ger before a late dinner.

The princesses and their es-
corts walked up the red carpet
where Marita was crowned by
Senior Class President, Tom Et-
ling, and was seated to reign
over her court.

As the dance hours came to a
close and couples headed out
for a late dinner, the last day of
Homecoming 75 came to an
end.

self fit in with the circus crowd, junior Andrea

mow s your ioou
"My foot? Who is this?"

"This is Brian. Remember me from
the bowling alley? I ... uh ...
dropped the ball on your foot."

"Oh, you're the one!"

"Well, I'm really sorry and I would
like to make it up to you. How would
you like to get lucky and have a date
with a guy who has great looks and a
personality to match?"

"John finally broke up with Karen?"

"NO! I mean with me. Just think,
you can tell your friends on Monday
morning that you had a date with
Brian."

"That's what I'm worried about!"

"Ah, come on. Just go on a date
with me this once."

"Date? Don't you think that term is
a little out of style?"

"What do you mean?"

"Brian, let me set you straight. Well,
when kids at school go out they
mainly use the term 'going out', but
they don’t really think of it as a formal
date. It's more like a chance for a guy
and girl to get together and have a
good time. A lot of things have
changed in the past few years."

"You’re kidding. Like what for
instance?"

"Have you been hibernating
Brian?" Even though it's mostly the
guys who ask the girl out and pick up
the tab, girls no longer have to sit
around waiting for the phone to ring.
With woman's lib being a big issue
now, many girls see themselves equal
to guys and will ask them out and of-
ten pay the bill. This no longer is con-

sidered socially unacceptable like it
was years ago."

"I don't think I quite understand
this— anyway will you go out with
me?"

"I'm sorry Brian but I don't know
how I can. I don’t think we are
compatible."

"Compatible? Well, what do you
look for in a guy?"

"Physical appearance, personality,
and reputation rank high on my list.
Don't misunderstand me Brian. I'm
not saying you don't have these."

"Don't worry. I think I'm beginning
to understand now. To get back on
the subject-will you go out with me
or not?"

"Brian, I'm almost positive I'll be
busy . . . but wait a minute, have I got

a girl for you!"

"Oh, Irene I've been through this
blind date thing before. It was the
worst evening of my life. She got her
thrills by counting the telephone
poles on Ridge Road and watching
the lobsters in the tank at Jewel's. Be-
sides that, she didn't live up to her full
expectations. My friend (?) said she
resembled Raquel Welch. Ha! Come
on, we could still go out and have a
good time. What do you like to do?"
"I'm like most people. I like to go to
movies, parties, dinner, concerts, and
on special occasions-Chicago."

"I like to do that too. Do you still
think we are uncompatible?"

"Well, maybe not so much."

"Then how about an exotic dinner
and fun-filled evening?"

"I guess we could give it a try."

"Our exotic dinner turned out to be
'two all beef patties, special sauce,
lettuce, cheese . . .' and the fun-filled
evening was a night of bowling and
once again Brian did foot damage
with that wicked bowling ball of his.
Only this time it was my other foot.

When Brian turned into my drive
way, I thought to myself 'there could
have been worse nights, but when our
braces locked as he kissed me good-
night, I knew I had just experienced
the worst night of my dating career!"

Fashion minded. Long skirts vs. jeans are one way that junior Sara Lanman
shows she can keep in style. Pucca beads, earth shoes, mood rings, and toe
socks accessorized stylish outfits.

18 Fads and Fashions

Breaker one, this here is Moon-Boy.
What's your 20? ... Be sure your pet
rock has lots of love and a warm
home while you are away . . . How do
you do the Bump? . . .

Can this really be true? What is all
this strange talk? Who would love
rocks like they would love their dog?
Unbelievable! This may seem strange,
but pet rocks were just one of many
fads popular in 1975.

Who's to say whether or not you
are in style? Does it mean you aren't
“with it" if you don't wear the correct
fashion or do the current fad? The
media and commercial world try to
press fads and fashions on teens so
they feel they must buy the latest “in"
things to keep up with everyone else.
Friends also pressure teens to keep in
style and "in" with the crowd.

Clothes were just one fad popular
this year. A few years back, fashions
weren't the same as now. Hemlines
have been going up and down seem-
ingly with the economy. This year
skirts and dresses found the knee and
below a popular place to be. Boys
stuck to their painter's pants and
overalls, but occasionally would be
seen dressing up in corduroys and
nice shirts. Pucca beads, scarves, tur-
quoise, and mood rings were acces-
sories that were necessary to com-
plete an outfit.

Current movies even had an effect
on clothes. The great white shark
from "Jaws" could be seen on socks,

shirts, and ties. Other popular movies
included titles such as, "Tommy,"
"Dog Day Afternoon," "Lucky Lady,"
and "Hustle." Along the same line
were current television shows— "Wel-
come Back, Kotter", "Happy Days",
"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman", and
"Monty Python's Flying Circus" to
name a few. Alive, Jaws, and Once is
Not Enough were a few top sellers on
the book list. "Dance With Me,"
"Love Will Keep Us Together," "Love
Roller Coaster," "Someone Saved My
Life Tonight," and "Fly Robin Fly" hit
the top song charts during the course
of the year.

Top songs helped to make dis-
cotheques become increasingly pop-
ular. The more energetic person
wished to learn new steps such as the
Bump, Hustle, and Bus Stop to
coordinate with the rhythms of the
fast paced music many people
enjoyed.

Although you couldn't get your fa-
vorite songs on a citizen's band radio
(more commonly known as CB) you
could communicate with fellow CB
fans. A new language had to be
adapted, for codes were used to dis-
guise the meanings and identities of
drivers.

Other fads that were "in" were Sva-
boda's, transcendental meditation,
pinball machines and arcades. Sva-
boda's, though with a time limit and
an age barrier, was the place to go to
work the nickelodeons and relive the

past. Transcendental meditation was
a source of relaxation for the many
who believed in its power. Books, lec-
tures, and sessions taught those who
wished to learn the correct technique.
The movie "Tommy" turned pinball
machines and arcades into renewed
fads. You could attempt to beat your
friend's score or try your hand at air
hockey. Contests were even held to
see who would become the "Pinball
Wizard".

Though most fads were on a na-
tionwide level, the Grinder Fan Club
was local to the school only. The club
met during every basketball game to
support "Grinder," senior Lee Millies,
and the rest of the team. At regular in-
tervals through out the game, the
club, wearing t-shirts, displayed their
rowdiness by holding up signs and
shouting for their team.

Fads and fashions will always be
changing. No one can say for sure
what will be in style for the coming
years. Though they often sound
strange, people will continue to try to
be in style and keep up with the cur-
rent fad.

body

"Just one more day until the
game," she thought, as another
pain shot through her already
bruised body. It was hard
enough to walk between
classes, let alone suffer through
another football practice. "Ugh!
How can guys take all that run-
ning and pushing for three
months? I'm struggling through
one week! I will be glad when
this Powder Puff game between
the junior and senior girls is
over! I don't think I would do it
again if I had the chance!"

Once again preparations for
the second annual Powder Puff
football game were in progress.
Seventy-one girls wearing jeans
and jerseys, practiced wherever
space permitted, since the ath-
letic teams had first priority.
Within a week, junior coaches
Mr. George Pollingue, class
sponsor and Mr. Robert Mai-
cher, math teacher, had taught
the girls the fundamentals of flag
football and warm-up exercises.
Senior girls, coached by Mr.
Tom Whiteley, U.S. History
teacher, and baseball coach
Mike Niksic reviewed various
plays and skills the girls learned
last year.

During halftime, the crowds
were entertained by the boy
cheerleaders and the crowning
of senior Rich Simeoni as Pow-
der Puff King.

For the second consecutive
year, the seniors came out victo-
rious with a score of 20-6. Se-
niors Leslie Marden, Michelle
Mezey, and Linda Porter made
the touchdowns for their class.
Jane Fissinger made the only ju-
nior touchdown.

"I have to admit, that game
was fun and quite an experi-
ence! I can't wait to try it again!
Next time I would like to be a
defensive end and . . she
thought as she fell into her bed
ready for that long awaited night
of rest.

Instead of the usual books, pens, and
paper, some students used ballet shoes,
riding boots, and musical instruments to
reflect their learning interests through
out-of-school activities. Students found
ways of expressing themselves outside
of the normal classroom.

Some students sought music lessons
as an escape from the school classroom.
From piano and harp to violin, banjos,
and guitars, students learned to
appreciate music and play an instrument
under the guidance of trained
instructors. Others practiced voice
exercises and memorized lyrics and
tunes in hopes of following a singing
career.

Other more experienced students
switched roles and taught beginning

- music enthusiasts to read notes and
produce pleasant music.

Students also demonstrated their
teaching ability by tutoring other high
school students who had difficulty in
Chemistry, Math, and Spanish, and by
teaching religion classes to public school
students.

Ballet, tap, and modern dance were
practiced by girls hoping to keep in
shape while learning new routines.
Everything from the basic positions and
turns to the more advanced pirouettes
and arabesques were learned through
many hours of hard work. Soon the
more experienced students were able to
create their own dance routine without
the assistance of their instructors,
expressing their personal ideas.

Horseback riding gave teenagers a
chance to develop their skills while
practicing their routines in outdoor and
indoor arenas. After many long hours of
mounting and dismounting, doing turns
and gaits with their horses, the students
who showed exceptional ability went on
to compete at horse shows in near-by
communities.

Students wishing to participate in
swimming and tennis lessons went to
both private and public clubs.

Whether with tennis shoes, a guitar,
dance shoes, or a riding saddle, students
expanded their general knowledge
through out-of-school experiences and
learning.

relaxation or eight weeks of studying

Summer Learning

"Pheew!" sighed the relieved student
as the last day of school came to an end.
For the past nine months, she had
looked forward to a long summer of
relaxation and excitement.

A voice over the P.A. system suddenly
blurted, “Would those students enrolled
in summer school please report to the
North building office to pick up their
class schedules."

“Oh, no!" wailed the student as she
had just reached the door, remembering
she was committed to another eight full
weeks of studies. "There goes my tan!"

June 9 came too soon and the 40 days
of summer school began for 751
students.

As the last bike chain was being
locked, the clock ticked closer to the
start of classtime. Students entered the
air conditioned commons and engaged
in a little pre-class socializing before

24 Summer Learning

class began.

The basic atmosphere was set with
pop cans under desks or candy bars
hidden inside folders. When a teacher
turned around, the student tried to eat
his “nutritious" breakfast.

Through half-shut eyes and yawns
here and there, students struggled to
keep awake during lectures, assignments
and physical activities.

Such classes as Typing and
Developmental Reading were open to
those students eager to develop skills
enabling them to study and work at a
faster pace.

Many of the Drivers Education
students met as early as six o'clock a.m.
to drive through the dawn-lit streets.
Drivers Ed. classes consisted of an hour
and a half lecture everyday, plus six
hours of behind-the-wheel driving and
twelve hours of in-car observation.

Required courses, like Physical
Education and Health and Safety, were
also offered. Students tried to keep in
shape and learn basic first aid skills.

Additional classes such as English,
History, and Math were offered to those
needing to make up necessary courses.

Students were not alone "putting in
extra time," as 31 teachers were on the
summer school staff, 19 of which were
involved in Drivers Education. They
lectured and entrusted their safety in the
hands of novice drivers.

Before realizing it, eight weeks of
studying had come to its conclusion.

"Pheew!" summer school is over at
last! Now I can go home, lay in the sun,
catch up on that tan, and . .

"Did you hear? We pick up our
schedules next week."

Well, here we go again!

Communication

What would you say if you were living in
the Rock Ages?

"Ugh."

What if you were trapped at home alone
by a snowstorm?

"My telephone's disconnected!"
"Operator!"

Suppose you landed on Mars and were
greeted by a little green martian?

"!*a.& #?*$%•)(!"

"Help! I don't understand!"
Communication is the process by which
two or more people exchange ideas.
When people think of communication,
their first thought turns to conversation.
They often fail to realize the many
different ways they communicate,
especially in school.

Stop and think where you would be
without the many forms of expressing
ideas?

Communication is a broad and
important part of life. It is obvious that
survival would be difficult without it.
From the moment a person is born and
utters his first gurgle, he is making
contact with other people. Preparing for
contact with society is a purpose the
school undertakes. Many forms of
communication take place in the school,
such as lectures, speeches, skits, writing,
group discussions, drawing, and singing.
Lectures are widely used in many classes
including English, History, Sociology,
Economics, Psychology and
Government. Although students may not

think of them as expressing ideas,
lectures are the main way of transmitting
information from teacher to student.
Speeches and skits are used to offer
knowledge, to fellow classmates and
their teachers. These activities are
prevalent in English, Foreign Language
and Speech classes. English 9 students
performed excerpts from Inherit the
Wind and Romeo and Juliet.

Sophomores acted out scenes from
Camelot, while juniors performed
MacBeth. Speech students learned to
verbally express their thoughts without
stuttering and stammering through
impromtu, informative, and
demonstrative speeches.

Communication

(Continued from pg. 27)

Writing reports and stories played a
major role in the transmitting of ideas. In
US History, students often wrote or gave
oral reports. Of course, journalism I was
important in introducing methods of
mass communication to aspiring young
journalists. They learned to write copy
and create layout designs with eye
appeal.

Group discussions proved successful
in getting ideas across from teacher to
student and student to student.
Government classes developed an
assimilation government game called

Hopcal in which group discussion
became the center of governmental
success. Biology, Psychology and
Sociology also depended heavily on
student involvement.

Spanish, French and German classes
were open to those who felt brave
enough to venture into another
language. A few proficient speakers
acquired the potential for possible
positions as interpreters and translators.

Expressing ideas is not limited to only
verbal communication, as it can extend
to art and music classes. When a person
draws a picture or creates a metal

sculpture, he is communicating visually
through his masterpiece, rather than
through words. People involved in music
depend on the lyrics, melody, and mood
to get their feelings across to the
listeners.

Communication is found everywhere
in school, it just takes time and thought
to discover it. Whether listening to a
lecture, taking part in a skit, writing an
oral report, singing a song, painting a
picture, or participating in a group
discussion, students do communicate.

Communication 29

a! Ha! Ha!

"Omigosh! Did you see that!?!"
"Golly! I've never seen anyone
so red in my life!"

"Yeah! she looked like an over-
grown beet!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha"

My face must have turned ten
shades of red— I wanted to fade qui-
etly into the background pattern of
the walls— I'll never forget the time
when . . .

... It was the end of the first hour,
and I had just come out of a semester
exam in English. I was very nervous
and upset, and I was so pre-occupied
with the test I had just taken that I
walked straight to my third hour class
and sat down. As the teacher was
passing out the test, I realized that I
was in the wrong room, so I got up
and walked gingerly (amid laughter)
out of the room and on down the hall
to my second hour class. When my
teacher asked me where I had been, I
just blushed. I was so embarrassed!

. . . One day in lunch I decided that
it was high time I took some action
toward a certain person that sits be-
hind me in lunch. I got dressed up in a
new outfit (my first skirt since school
started). Like a charm school gradu-
ate, I walked up to the lunch line to
pick up my cold pizza and melted
jello. As I glided back to my seat, I
just so happened to pass HIS seat. Af-
ter brushing with "Ultra-Brite" for a
half an hour before school I flashed
him that "sex-appeal" smile. Since my

eyes were glued to his face, I didn't
notice the banana peel on the floor. I
fell with the grace of a cow on
crutches and HIS eyes on me. I was
so embarrassed!

... I was walking to the South
Building on a windy day. Suddenly I
realized my wrap-around skirt wasn't
wrapped around any more. I was so
embarrassed!

... I finally decided to go on a diet
and stick to it. After losing ten pounds
I decided to treat myself to a new
outfit. I wore it to school the next day
and everyone complimented me on
it, but as soon as I turned my back. I'd
hear snickering. It went on like this all
day praise, snicker, praise, snicker,
praise, snicker. It wasn't until I got
home that I realized I had left two
curlers in my hair. I was so
embarrassed!

. . . This guy I know used to work in
a gas station. One day he was pump-
ing gas into this old lady's tank when
a girl he liked walked by. He called
out her name and she stopped to talk
for a while. About ten minutes later,
he realized that he had forgotten all
about the old lady and her gas. He
turned around to see how she was
doing, and she was gone! His boss
was standing there glaring at him. His
girlfriend asked him why his boss was
so mad, but he couldn't answer. He
was so embarrassed!

. . . I'll never forget my first date. Ev-
erything had to be perfect— my hair
was curled, I had my new jeans

pantsuit on, and little brother prom-
ised he'd stay upstairs until we left.
We really had a nice time, but when
he turned to kiss me goodnight, my
little brother was on the stairs giggl-
ing. I was so embarrassed!

. . . One Sunday morning I got up
early to surprise my parents and serve
them breakfast in bed. When I went
out to get the morning paper, still
dressed in my robe and slippers, the
wind blew the door shut behind me. I
tried to open it, but it had locked au-
tomatically— had to stand outside and
pound on the front door until my dad
got up and let me in. I was so
embarrassed!

... I was on the J.V. Hockey team in
our first game of the season. At the
end of the third period of the Varsity
game, we were leading 6-0, so the
coach decided to put a few of us in, I
got the puck and skated lightening
fast across the ice. The crowd was

QQD

cheering behind me and drove me
closer to my destination. I finally
swung and made a goal ... I was so
excited . . . until I saw that it was for
the other team . . . then I was so
embarrassed!

. . . One day I was babysitting for
this family who had a newborn baby.
They left me explicit instructions: feed
at 6:00, bathe at 6:30 with diaper
change and bedtime at 7:00. I got
through to the part about putting a
fresh diaper on. It was one of those
- new disposable ones and I had never

used one be-l did the best I could,
but when they came home, the lady
went in to check on her baby and
came out laughing hysterically. When
I asked her what was so funny, she
brought out the baby and told me-l
had put the diaper on inside-out! I
was so embarrassed!

Embarrassment is something that
no one can escape. People will always
be doing silly things without realizing
it and the same funny feeling will
overcome them. Remember the time
you . . .

W hat do you need most in the
middle of the day to help you
get back on your feet? No,
not Geritol. Children take
naps and have their milk and cookie
hour; basketball teams have "time-
outs"; actors get their "take 10"
breaks; other workers get coffee
breaks; teachers have planning peri-
ods. So what can the hard-working,
diligent student have as an escape
from his long, six hard hours of as-
signments, lectures, tests, reports, and
term papers? Study Halls!

Besides lunch hour and 3:08, the
study hall is probably the most trea-
sured time of a student's school day.
Here he has the opportunity to do
whatever he pleases, within reason.
He can cram for the big history exam
next hour, the one he forgot to study
for the night before. If it's not a test,
maybe it's just daily assignments, oth-
erwise, one can finish his homework
for tomorrow.

"Study hall", is not exactly the most
accurate title for the class. Most
people would prefer to call it a "social
hall", for this is where students can re-
lax and catch up on the latest gossip-
what happened at joe's party on Sat-
urday or after the game on Friday.
Others play cards, munch on a snack,
or if they can stand all the noise, just
sleep.

There are some lucky people who
have first or sixth hour study hall.
With a signed permission slip, these
students have the opportunity to ar

rive at school an hour late or leave an
hour early.

Study hall is essential to the stu-
dent's school life. Without it, there
would not be any break in the routine
of a student's school day. How else
could you catch "40 winks", learn to
play Gin Rummy, grab a bite to eat
to tide you over until lunch or find out
about

To sum up the qualities most
needed for Crier staffers,
willingness and ability to work,
creative writing talent, and
patience would be at the top of the
list. The 26 staff members met
second hour everyday to put
together a newspaper, the Crier.
Along with being sold for 15C to
students, the paper was exchanged
with other schools.

Long hours were spent in the
Pub, at Midwest Publishing, and
with local merchants in order to
produce and fund each issue. A
two and one-half week process
preceded distribution of the paper.
Preparation time was spent
assigning stories, interviewing news
sources, researching facts, writing
copy, and then fitting all the
elements together.

With no school financial support
and the money from sales
insufficient to cover the $6000

printing expenses, staff members
had to raise money throughout the
year. Selling advertisements to area
businesses kept the staff financially
sound. Also Christmas and
Thanksgiving wish sales were held
to add to their revenue.

Creativity played a major role in
providing interesting stories and
articles to the readers. This
involved varying writing styles and
techniques without omitting
necessary information. The inside
specials provided staffers with
opportunities to use their
ingenuity. In-depth reports on
topics ranging from in-town
shopping facilities to the
availability of local entertainment
were featured.

Crier received a first class rating
from the National Scholastic Press
Association for second semester of
74-75.

In the midst of birthday and
holiday parties, loafing, and just
plain fun, PARAGON'S 36 staffers
and five photographers were often
found struggling, while laughing
and groaning, to create another
yearbook. Pictures were constantly
being taken and developed, copy
and captions written and rewritten,
materials proportionately placed
on the spread, possible errors
checked, and after final approval,
spreads were mailed to the printer.

PARAGON was a year-round
production as eight senior staffers
also spent one week of their
summer vacation attending a
workshop at Ball State University.
Here, aspiring journalists from all
over the country shared ideas and
learned more effective ways to
produce a unique yearbook.

For Homecoming, PARAGON
and CRIER supported a joint cause.
Assembling the side show for
“Circus World", Publications' fat
lady and freaks placed first in the
car division.

PARAGON staffers raffled off
the Homecoming football for 25<t a
ticket. Another necessary project
was the yearbook campaign in
which books were sold and
PARAGON'S theme, “Where Do
We Go From Here," was
promoted. Brightly colored signs

were painted by members of the
Promotion staff, the training for
working on the yearbook. Ads and
patrons were sold to local
businesses and families, and in the
summer the annual yearbook
dance was held.

Adopting a magazine approach
with feature-like articles, the staff
strived for creativity in their
coverage. They also hoped to
receive high ratings from various
associations which critique
yearbooks from all over the United
States. A certain number of points
was awarded in various areas such
as coverage, layout design,
advertising, cover, and special
areas such as student artwork and
photography. PARAGON 75
received the Medalist award for
“spirit and creative excellence" from
the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association (CSPA). The book was
also rated by the National
Scholastic Press Association
(NSPA).

Long nights of rewrites and last
minute corrections finally proved
rewarding. Relieved staffers had
made it through another year with
the help of advisor, Mrs. Nancy
Hastings. Using creative pictures
and copy, staffers once again
succeeded in capturing the
happenings of the past year.

Collecting, compiling, and print-
ing news articles, short stories, and
poems, to some students would be
difficult and challenging tasks. But
for the 15 News Bureau and PE-
GASUS staffers, these activities
gave them a chance to express
their feelings and communicate
with others in a unique way.

Keeping the public informed on
school events and activities. News
Bureau sent information to area
newspapers. Under the direction of
senior Cindy Aranowski, News Bu-
reau provided community papers
with weekly articles on school
events. Juniors Marilyn Kieswetter
and Nan Sutter wrote articles for
the Hammond Times, while juniors
Jenny Gebel and Karen Holt wrote
for other papers.

Members qualified by com-
pleting Journalism I and by show-
ing an interest in creative news
writing. The members were picked
by sponsor Mrs. Nancy Hastings
from the applications submitted
near the end of the school year.

PEGASUS, the literary magazine,
was composed of short stories,
artwork, and poems submitted by
students. Many hours were spent
as PEGASUS members, under the
direction of sophomore Pam Kiser,
gathered and organized students
works and sold copies to the stu-
dent body and faculty.

With the combined efforts of
certain students, News Bureau and
PEGASUS communicated to others
in a unique way.

Crafts/ Photography/ Radio

Students interested in pursuing
their individual hobbies and
interests joined Radio Club,
Photography Club, and the newly
formed Crafts Club. After school,
students learned how to make
rugs, develop pictures and operate
radios.

Anyone interested in the “How
to 's" of craft work was able to join
the Crafts Club. Under the
guidance of Miss Elizabeth Miller,
the six members worked on
projects, such as needlepoint,
crewel, and rug hooking, once a
month on Thursdays. Members
provided their own materials, so no
money making projects were
necessary. Sophomore Pam
Opatera served as president, while
senior Susan Carlson acted as vice
president and informed the
members of the meeting dates.

Photography Club members
learned how to take pictures,
develop film, and use various
photo techniques. Club meetings
were held after school on
Wednesday in the darkroom under
the supervision of sponsor Mr.
David Russell. Trips to Chicago and

the Dunes were planned for
members to take pictures.

With the help of a new sponsor,
Mr. Gordon Olson, and a new
Central Broadcasting (CB) antenna
that was donated by club member
freshman Dan Tomaszewski, the
Radio Club started its activities.
Students interested in the
electronics industry met every
Wednesday to learn about CB
radios and their proper use.

The only requirements of the
club were having a radio
broadcasting license or a CB radio.
Without the necessary equipment
on hand, senior Don Bunting,
president and junior Bob Bieker,
vice president decided that
materials were needed. Plans were
made to hold an electrical fox hunt
in which each of the eight
members participated. A fox was
let loose transmitting a signal. The
person who was able to keep track
of the fox the longest with his radio
was declared the winner.

Although each student
developed varied hobbies, they all
were able to expand their interests
through club membership.

42 Speech and Debate

s® Gfetasils

With heavy eyelids, you squinted
at the clock as the alarm sounded.

It was 3:25 a.m. If you were on the
Speech and Debate Team, this
buzzing noise was often the
unwelcome signal to get up.
Reluctantly, you threw off your
warm blanket, got dressed, and
sleepily proceeded to school
where the bus patiently waited.
However, aspirations of the
ribbons and coveted first place
tropies brought home, plus the
early snacks of doughnuts and
milk, helped to make the early
hour, uncomfortable bus ride seem
more bearable.

Traveling to after-school meets
on Tuesdays and early-morning
Saturday tournaments, 70 members
had the opportunity to overcome
any "fear of speaking" symptoms.
Ranging from interpretation and
original events to debating
advantages and disadvantages of a
specific topic, members chose
predominately one of two areas to
complete in throughout the
season.

To start the season, all members
participated in the annual Chicken
Barbecue. Canvassing door-to-
door throughout the town,
ambitious salesmen sold over 1600
tickets. When Homecoming
arrived, members- busily turned
chickens, cleaned tables, and
served food.

Those who enrolled in Speech III
received one credit while
practicing for the upcoming meets.
The class offered an hour daily to
improve and perfect their speaking

ability and shorten the time
needed for out-of-class research
and extra practice.

Attending meets from
November to March, the test of the
season appeared in sectional,
regional, and state competition.
Placing second in Sectionals and
Regionals to Chesterton, the
Speech team, coached by Mrs.
Helen Engstrom and Mr. Edwin
Burkhardt, advanced nine
contestants to state. Even though
the team placed ninth at the state
meet in Lafayette, senior Sue
Weinberg qualified for Nationals
by placing first in Girls
Extemperaneous. Another way to
advance to Nationals was by
placing first at Districts.

Hard working debaters, coached
by Mrs. Laura Hall and Mrs. Marge
Barrett, also competed at various
meets. The highlight of their season
occurred when both two-man
teams qualified for State, where
they placed second and third to
West Lafayette. The next week, the
two-man team of senior Jim
Stoddart and junior Lee Silver won
Districts and advanced to
Nationals in Colorado Springs,
Colorado held in June.

Concluding the busy season, the
annual banquet was held at
Condes. The dinner not only
honored outstanding speakers,
coaches, and assistants for their
hard work throughout the year, but
also rewarded everyone who had
ventured outdoors in the early
hours.

Imagine that you were stranded
on a deserted island; deserted that
is, except for a band of non-
speaking tribesmen, without
anyone to draw lines of
communication. Your chances of
survival would be limited. But with
an interpreter, the natives would be
most helpful in allowing you to
roam the countryside.

Student Senate opened these
lines between the student body
and the administration, thus
allowing the students more
freedom.

Bright and early, at 8:00 a.m.
once every three weeks, Senate
members got together with their
sponsor, Mr. Hal Coppage, to
make plans to carry out those
traditional Senate projects. Besides
the annual homecoming festivities,
and the Christmas party at
Tradewinds Rehabilitation Center,
Student Senate added quite a few
things to their agenda. Activities
allowed students to do many new

projects ranging from drawing on
walls to sitting back and enjoying a
film festival.

For the first time, Senate held a
student exchange program with a
school out of the local area. Four
Senate members went to West
Lafayette High School and four
West Lafayette students came
here. By going to a smaller school,
they were able to see the different
aspects between both schools, and
how much more liberty a smaller
school had.

Revising the constitution took a
lot of time. By doing this Senate
hoped to be able to bring the
students more freedom and
privileges.

Student Senate strives to fulfill
their objectives by meeting the
wishes of the student body. They
are there to help the students in
any way they can to make the
school an overall better place,
according to President Gayle
Rovai.

Imagination becomes main ingredient of

Creating

While strolling through Chicago's Art
Institute or Museum of Science and In-
dustry, or listening to concert music
people are exposed to creativity.

Imagination is the basic ingredient of
an individual's creativity. Adding his spe-
cial spices of emotions and unique per-
sonal ideas, he acquires a distinctive
taste.

Such accomplishments were possible

because of the number of opportunities
open to students.

Beginning with Basic Art, the Art De-
partment gave students a choice of eight
courses, which became the foundation
for more advanced classes. Historical
and Environmental art students studied
artists form different eras, from Egyp-
tians to modern art. Drawing and Paint-
ing students learned to add detail to

make their semester project, a weed
drawing, seem realistic. They expanded
this process and painted an abstract de-
sign during Drawing and Painting II. Di-
mensional Design students concentrated
their efforts on three-dimensional
projects, including plaster sculptures,
wood faces and mobiles. With

five credits of art and a teacher's recom-
mendation, more talented students were
able to develop their creativity and a
greater understanding of design in Arts
Projects I and II.

Students using words instead of paint,
expressed themselves by transferring
their ideas to sentences on paper, rather
than shapes on canvas. Expository com-
positions, short stories and poems were
the results of such talents found in

English and Composition classes. In
journalism, writers produced news sto-
ries and copy for the school newspaper
and yearbook. Advertisements, which
students designed in Journalism I, were
entered in competition in the Sun Jour-
nal. The ads were judged on creative-
ness and organization of elements of the
ad.

Foods, Clothing and Shop courses sat-
isfied the creative instinct of both sexes
because of the increased emphasis on

equal rights. Boys were admitted into
Food classes while girls took their place
in the woodworking or drafting room.
Together, both sexes could be seen
making cabinets, creating cakes or de-
signing garages.

Considered in a special aspect, each
art student was a Michelangelo; each
journalist was a TIME reporter; and each
cook was a Galloping Gourmet, because
these students were able to express their
creativity.

“No, I can't."

"Yes, you can. There he is—
now is your chance, ask him!"

As the month of December
approached, girls had their
chance to be in a boy's shoes by
asking them to Chi, the annual
semi-formal turnabout dance
sponsored by Chi Kappa Chi
sorority.

As 125 couples crossed a
ship's plank into St. Thomas
More's gym, they entered a
world of Christmas trees and
posters which were donated by
travel agencies that helped to
create the theme, "Christmas
Around the World."

Christmas tree centerpieces
were placed at the tables where
couples could sit and recall the
evening's activities. Mistletoe
Corner became the place where
they could get together for a
moment alone.

Sounds of Stonewood Fox re-
placed the traditional Christmas
carols. Refreshments were pro-
vided by Chi members, giving
couples a chance to relax and
catch their breaths between
dances.

Those who wished to remem-
ber the night could purchase
pictures from Victoria Studios
for $5.50. Bids and favors resem-
bling toy soldiers in stockings
were handed out to each couple
as another remembrance of Chi.

When eleven o'clock rolled
around, couples headed for the
exit and to restaurants for a late
dinner.

Keeping with the Christmas
spirit of giving, the sorority do-
nated all the profits, a sum of
$495 to charities. The dance was
their major money-making
activity.

"You know, I'm glad that I
asked him."

"See, it wasn't that hard to ask
him now was it? "He said he
would go."

"Yes, but I'm certainly glad
I'm not a guy and have to do
this often!"

BELOW: Entering a new world. Upon arriving to Chi, seniors Scott Gurken and Beth Loomis

"Wait! Do you mean I have to go out
on that stage, in front of all those
people— me— with my stomach full of
butterflies? Help me, I think I am going
to faint!"

Not all students suffer from cases of
stage fright, however, in some way or
another, they all must perform during
class.

Knotted and twisted stomachs, sweaty
palms and trembling hands are the usual

outcome of those students awaiting their
turn to perform in skits, plays or oral
reports in English and history classes.

For those "born actors", this could be
a treasured moment filled with
anticipation and excitement. These self-
confident students often became
involved in speech class in order to
better their presentations. Students
hoping to overcome their stage fright
also took part in this class. By delivering
different types of speeches, students
gradually were able to calm their nerves

and better their performance.

Students interested in acting enrolled
in drama class to enter a world of
imagination with unlimited possibilities.
Under the direction of Mr. Carl Young,
students portrayed not only characters,
but also different objects, such as'
machines or food.

Musically gifted performers were
found practicing up and down vocal and
instrumental scales. Vocal talent was
found in the major groups including,

Tenth Grade Choir and Concert Choir.
The choirs practiced during class for
annually scheduled concerts. Other
musically oriented groups consisted of
band and orchestra classes. These
groups also performed at various
concerts, usually near Christmas and in
the spring.

Physical education is another area
where students have the chance to

perform. If not testing their skills,
students could be seen swimming laps,
tumbling, spiking a volleyball or
shooting baskets.

Through practical jokes, whimsical
remarks or even funny faces, students
have been known to entertain their
fellow classmates with amusing antics in
order to gain attention. Students, like a
clown, add entertainment and
enjoyment to the routine of a school

day. However, while these students
might overwhelm others with their
shows, these clowns may still suffer from
a bad case of nerves when it comes time
to deliver a speech.

Whether acting on stage, in a
classroom or on a football field, students
perform everyday.

There I stood in that giant au-
ditorium. It looked so big, con-
sidering there were only three
people rehearsing our act: my-
self the student director, and the
other two actors. The next night
I found we were cramped in my
basement practicing the same
scene among dad's workshop
and mom's laundry. We had to
get things perfected before the
opening night of Mustang Sum-
mer Theater.

Seventy-five students spent
their summer evenings memo-
rizing lines, projecting their
voices and practicing gestures
for the presentation of summer
theater's selection of one act
plays. Mr. Daniel Rapaez, lan-
guage arts teacher at Wilbur
Wright Middle School was the
director. He decided to use
eleven one act plays instead of
the usual two different plays so
that more students could be
involved.

Opening night "Masher,"
"The Sweater," "Oh, Ronald,"
and "Pardon My Second Scene"
were presented to a small au-
dience. The following night,
"Cleft for Me," "Clocks," "A
Lickpenny Lover," and "A Lass
Unparalled" were performed.
All eleven plays were presented
to the public on the following
two nights.

Students who had never been
on a stage before had a chance
to "star" or be a supporting ac-
tor or actress.

Along with director Mr. Ra-
paez, senior Rhonda Rheinhold
acted as hostess and introduced
each act, while a different stu-
dent director was selected to as-
sist with each play.

During intermission, a bake
sale was held to help drama
funds.

Parties at Barton's or Shakey's,
conflicting dates with the carni-
val, selling of ads, and the re-
turning of the regular seating ar-
rangement were some factors
that helped make summer the-
ater 75 unique.

"Monday, the sixth of July,
1941. At five o'clock this
morning Mother woke me and
told me to hurry and get
dressed. It wasn't until we were
on our way that I learned where
we were going." This was the
opening scene from "The Diary
of Anne Frank," the story of a
girl growing to be a woman and
the seclusion and oppression
felt by two Jewish families
hiding from Nazi occupation
forces during World War II.

Preparation and selection of
the cast for the fall play were
started five and half weeks
before opening night. Mr. Carl
Young, director, selected the
cast on the basis of reading
ability, experience, and physical
likeness to the characters, but
ten days into practice, five cast
members gave various reasons
for quitting, putting the final cast
behind schedule.

Mr. Young was then faced
with the problem of finding new
cast members. Using his
dramatics students, along with
crews and former actors, the
empty places were soon filled.

Like all plays, problems arose.
Besides the change in cast,
sound cues presented
difficulties for Mr. Young since
he had never done a play with
more than one or two cues, but
"Diary" had over forty.

"One of the most gratifying
things about the cast was that
the personalities of the
characters were evident. They
projected their interpretations of
the parts to the audience. None
of them merely recited lines,"
stated Mr. Young. Different
emotional scenes touched the
audience and even moved some
to tears. Even during the curtain
call not a smile was shown on
the faces of the cast because of
the serious content.

The drama ended when Mr.
Frank reads Anne's last entry,
"In spite of everything I still
believe people are basically
good at heart."

Not every family has a daugh-
ter dancing to xylophone music,
pet snakes in the living room, or
a not so famous author for a for
their mother. Occasional blasts
from the basement reminds the
family of Mr. Sycamore's past-
time— manufacturing fireworks.
A typical nightly dinner consists
of tomatoes, corn flakes, and a
candy called "live dreams". Al-
though they have no jobs and
pay no taxes, the Sycamore fam-
ily is content to live in their own
little world.

In early February, plans were
underway for the spring play,
"You Can't Take It With You".
Rehearsals were held four or five
times a week with one week off
for spring vacation. Because the
characters on "Mary Hartman,
Mary Hartman" were similar to
this play, the cast was assigned
to watch the show to work on
characterization.

On May sixth, seventh, and
eighth, Thespian Troupe *2861
presented the comedy under
the direction of Mr. Carl Young
and assistant director Miss
Becky Longhauser. The play told
of a family living during the
1930's and the problems they
ran into when their daughter
wanted to marry the son of a
rich tycoon. In the words of Mr.
Young, "this plays offers an op-
portunity for a large cast to have
great fun with many strange
characters. Its funny and it has a
clear and worthwhile moral." He
also added that "everyone who
saw it enjoyed it" The au-
dience's reaction was very
enthusiastic."

Since the play wasn't as lavish
as a musical, the expenses ran
between $500 and $600. The
costs went towards royalties,
sets, costumes, and publicity.

Perhaps the Sycamore family
was a little odd, but in the end
they proved to have the best
philosophy about money— "You
Can't Take It With You."

To some students, ten points
might mean the difference
between an A or a B, but to those
interested in the theater, it means
membership in a special club. With
late nights, hard work and quick
dinners at McDonalds, 20 students
earned the right to be initiated into
Thespian troop #2861.

Under the direction of sponsor
Mr. Carl Young, drama and English
11 teacher, students participated in
the fall and spring plays along with
summer theater to earn points.
One point was awarded for each
ten hours of work, so many
evenings of creating scenery,
projecting voices, and painting
signs were common to both
students and to their parents.

But Thespians were not all work
and no play. Under officers,
president senior Rhonda
Rheinholdt, vice president senior
Lorraine Longhauser, secretary
junior Louise Waxman, and
treasurer senior Cathy Moynagh,
many unique activities were
planned. Members had the chance
to attend a rock version of the

with the play "You Can't Take It
With You" at Indiana University
Northwest. As a change of pace,
Thespians also stayed home and
the theater came to them. Keith
Beiger, a professional pantomimist,
performed before Thespian
members and the drama class.

During the summer, selected
members attended the
International Theatre Arts
Conference for one week,
sponsored by International
Thespian Society. The conference,
which is held every two years, gave
members the opportunity to view
plays, attend classes, and seminars,
and see full length plays at night.

Initiation for new members, who
earned 10 points, was held at the
winter and spring banquets.

Although painting trees on
cardboard may not be the most
artistic activity certain students
found constructing sets combined
work with a little pleasure. Many
late evenings the auditorium was
filled with hopeful students, each
working to become a member of
Thespian troup #2861.

In most clubs, meeting times
were announced over the inter-
com. However, in a different type
of organization, a regular pattern
was established. In fact, students
who belonged to choir met every
day in a scheduled course.

In a regular class situation, any
uncalled for and completely volun-
tary movement of the mouth and
vocal chords to the n'th degree re-
sulted in a definite violation of
many classroom laws. Punishment
varied from simple reprimands to
the often embarrassing “leave the
room" routines. However, the
Choral Department was exempt
from such regulations. Here, mov-
ing mouths, expanding dia-
phragms, and tapping feet were
approved practices.

Open to all freshmen. Girls' Glee
Club helped develop vocal ability.
Beginning at the basic level, stu-
dents learned the “how-to's" of
singing and notereading. In addi-
tion, Mr. Richard Holmberg, Musi-
cal Department Director, taught
the correct way to breathe when
singing.

Furthering their musical at-
tributes, Girls' Tenth Grade Choir
continued developing their voices.

Along with the other three choirs
and various ensembles, soph-
omore girls devoted time to polish-
ing selections for the annual Christ-
mas and Spring concerts. The
music ranged from classical pieces
to the more recent popular tunes.

During fourth hour, echoes of
music reached the adjoining hall-
ways. Lunchtime passers were
treated with traces of medleys sung
by sophomores and juniors en-
rolled in Gorilla Choir.

While the other choirs were
open to anyone interested, seniors
with musical talent were selected
to participate in Concert Choir. As-
piring vocalists or those who just
wanted to develop better pitch
worked toward balanced harmony
in the more complex pieces.

Receiving one credit for class
participation and mandatory atten-
dance at both yearly concerts,
many students belonged to a choir
for a change of pace, an easy
grade, or added musical knowl-
edge. However, for others, choir
seemed to be the only place where
you could open your mouth wide
without suffering the
consequences.

All of a sudden there were girls
in long white dresses and guys in
black tuxedos standing in line. Puz-
zled at this unusual attire for the af-
ternoon, especially at Mac's, you
begin to realize what was happen-
ing. If these people in fancy clothes
weren't early prom-goers, then
through sheer logic they could only
be members of a singing group or
ensemble. The deduction proved
correct as the hungry performers
had just stopped in for a bite to eat
between performances.

To become a member of an en-
semble, fall tryouts were held. After
successfully singing the scale and
parts of a song, adept choir mem-
bers were selected to belong to
any of eight ensembles.

Occasionally class time was used
for practice, however, the devoted
singers spent two to three days per
week before or after school re-
hearsing their songs. After the
pieces were perfected, the en-
sembles, sponsored by Mr. Gene
Fort, U.S. History Teacher, and Mr.
Richard Holmberg, Music Depart-
ment Director, performed at an-

nual concerts, churches, banks,
and Frank H. Hammond school.
Mixed Ensemble and Girls' Sextet
also entertained at the Bicentennial
Ball at Wicker Park Country Club.

In addition to performing, Mixed
Ensemble, Senior Sextet, Boys' and
Girls' Ensembles, Girls' and two
Boys' Barbershops, and Soph-
omore Sextet competed in the
Northern Indiana State Band, Or-
chestra and Vocal Association
(NISBOVA) contest. In local com-
petition, all groups placed first. Ris-
ing early, the eight ensembles trav-
eled to Butler University in
Indianapolis on Feb. 21, to sing at
the state level where Mixed En-
semble Senior Sextet, Girls' En-
semble, and Sophomore Sextet
placed first.

Ensembles entertained at various
community functions. They re-
ceived some donations which re-
duced costs of musical supplies.
However, money wasn't a major
factor as these groups were formed
to entertain while having fun and
increasing musical ability.

BELOW: Raising the roof. Rivalry helps bring out fan
spirit during the Highland game. FAR BELOW: Sign
of the times. A warning from seniors Ian McQuillan,

Becky Breaz and Peggy McShane lets the junior
powder puff team know that the seniors are ready to
win.

At last! The weekend has arrived—
you can finally relax after a hectic
week. No more running around for
awhile. As the phone rings you silently
hope that its for your little sister. No
such luck. A basketball game? You
hear yourself say that you have this
splitting headache and just can't
make it. Your friend sounds shocked.
After hanging up you realize you
really should go, so you call your
friend back and tell her you feel bet-
ter. After all, you wouldn't want
people to think you don't have any
spirit.

When you arrive the band is play-
ing, the cheerleaders are performing

and the crowd is eating and talking,
just like always. You don't notice any
changes from the past few years, but
you really didn't expect any. You
overhear some college alumni reliving
their high school days. They say how
things have changed since their day.
The fans used to cheer the team on,
but now it seems to be less crowded
and the ones who are there don't
cheer. You know those alumni are
right, but of course YOU wouldn't
think of cheering. That's a silly thing to
do. It doesn't help the players any,
and what would other people think?

There's your boyfriend-sitting on
the bench as usual. No matter what,
he still yells and cheers on this team.
That sure is team spirit.

Soon the excitement of the game
catches on. You feel yourself becom-
ing tense, nervous. Suddenly you let
out a yell of "GO TEAM, BEAT HIGH-
LAND!" Absolutely amazed at your-
self, you slowly sink into your seat,
feeling all eyes upon you. As you look
around, nobody is looking at you like
you expected, but instead they are
following your example. Everyone is
cheering and yelling. Then a funny
thing happens— the basketball players
are starting to catch up, they're im-
proving, another basket, then . . . they
are WINNING! As the crowd's noises
increase, so do the players' skill. Then
it dawns on you. When the team
knows you are backing them, they
begin to play as a team, not as

FAR LEFT: Pin 'em! Just as basketball has its
cheerleaders, wrestling has CTO to cheer on
the team as junior Judy Regelman shows her
enthusiasm as a team member pines his oppo-

individuals.

During halftime you glance around
and admire your art work on the signs
plastered on the walls. You think to
yourself, "Our club sure shows spirit.
Everyone will know about the dance
tonight and ... oh no! I was supposed
to be there to help set up the band!"
With a final look at the Drill Team's
routine you hurry out and head for
the cafeteria. The club president is im-
patiently looking at this watch and
gives you a dirty look when you ar-
rive. You know he's going to tell you
that this is the absolutely last time you
can be late . . . oh, well.

rtent. ABOVE: Touchdown! Caught up in the
action of the game, senior Lorraine Longauser
screams wildly as the ball is carried over the
goal line.

Everyone seems to be having a
good time at the dance except for
you. You decide to leave and as you
are about to sneak for the exit, a
cheerleader grabs you and reminds
you of the promise you made. Sec-
tionals are tomorrow, you must write
your "secret admirer" note and be
ready to go tp-ing at 4:00 in the morn-
ing. Ugh! Just as she leaves, the head
of GTO tells you to be at the track at
10 a.m. You have to time tomorrow.

You are worn out from the running
around, and are sick of hearing
people tell you to look alive and have
some spirit. If they only knew.

Thoughts of "Raindrops Keep
Falling on My Head" often filled
the minds of Majorettes and
Marching Band members as they
practiced and performed in the
rain, wind, and freezing
temperatures.

Long hours of practice were
spent by the Marching Band and
Majorettes getting ready for their
performances at parades, contests,
concerts, and football games.

The Marching Band, under the
supervision of Mr. David Carmony
with help from drum majors
seniors Diane Becker, John
Gorman and Bruce Van Inwegen,

■ received a first place rating in their
division at the state contest held in
Indianapolis. The contest was open
to all school bands in Indiana and
was sponsored by the Catholic
Youth Organization.

The% members marched in the
Hammond Christmas Parade,
Fourth of July Parade, Munster
Homecoming Parade and played
for fans at their three yearly
concerts.

In addition to bake sales, car-
washes, and a dance, band
members spent every Saturday
morning at the Griffith Paper
Packaging Plant loading trucks to
earn money for new uniforms,
sheet music and travel expenses.

Under the guidance of sponsor
Mrs. Mary Yorke, the five
Majorettes and one alternate
entertained the sports fans with
their performances at football and
basketball games. Daily practices
were held during fourth hour first
semester with each girl receiving
one credit. For the second
semester the girls practiced for the
few remaining basketball games on
their own time.

New routines and drills were
learned at the Smith and Walbridge
Camp in the summer. There each
girl received a superior rating in
competition against majorettes
from schools all over the country.

To pay for the expense of
uniforms, tapes, and a tape
recorder, the majorettes held bake
sales, a carwash and sponsored a
dance at the end of the year.
During the summer the girls gave
baton lessons from July 14 through
August 1 on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays. Lessons
were given to girls eight years and
older with certificates awarded for
completion at the end of the
course.

Senior Debbi Jacobi was elected
captain while junior Lori Bretz
served as student council
representative for the Majorettes.

Marching Band/Majorettes 71

Although all music students may
not have the same talents or
interests, the Music Department
was able to cater to their needs
through six distinct bands.

The Marching Band, for the
second semester, split into three
separate bands. Wind Ensemble
which consisted of 45 selected
musicians, held practices in the
band room during third hour and
concentrated on classical music.
Concert Band, the largest with 55
members, was heard playing rock
and classical music every day
during the fourth hour. Class was
held fifth hour for the 20 members
of Varsity Band which specialized
in individual instruction. Together
the bands played a majority of
modern contemporary music at
three annual concerts held on
December 16, March 18, and May
18.

Any band member could join
the Pep Band which provided
music for pep rallies, basketball
games, and football halftimes.
During the practices held after

school, members practiced
everything from popular rock to
jazz tunes.

Besides conducting the three
concert bands, Mr. Carmony also
supervised Stage Band on Thursday
nights, ten selected students
performed Big Band music at
community functions throughout
the school year.

Conducted by Mr. Karl Linden,
13 string students and band
members made up the orchestra.
The orchestra, whose size doubled
last year's, practiced classical music
during second hour. A concert was
held on December 9, which
included the Middle School
Orchestra. Members also attended
a Hammond Area Youth Work
Shop to increase their music ability
and on the understanding of the
various types of music.

At the end of the year a band
and orchestra banquet was held for
all members. Seniors were
recognized with personalized
plaques.

So here I am, stranded on the vast
frontier with only a few trusty tools to
help me overcome obstacles and
complete my exploration through these
foreign lands. Let's see now, do I have all
my equipment— my pencil, pen,
notebook and everything else? Yes, well
I better get going if I'm to finish covering
this territory before the harsh weather
sets in, six weeks from now.

Plodding through these pages of black
and white can be more dangerous than I
expected. I must be entering a new land,
there's a sign— "Welcome to World
Literature 12."

Ugh! What's that long, ugly black
thing in print? I wish I had my dictionary.
I guess I'll just have to jump around it.
Who's that man? Maybe he can tell me
about this place.

"Excuse me, could you tell me exactly
where I am?"

"I am Odysseus, a hero of the Trojan
War, and these pages are the land of
"Odyssey." The ruler is a wise man, a
Greek poet named Homer. I'm on my
way to Ithaca. Are you going my way?"

"No, I don't think so, thanks anyway."

There must be alot of states in this
country. This must be the border line—

another sign. "Hope you enjoyed your
stay in our territory. We'll expect you to
explore more of our country again for
another six weeks."

Where am I now? English Literature. It
looks as if I'll need my notebook and
pen for protection against all of these
literary expressions.

The atmosphere here changes quite a
bit— from the time of Hamlet to the
medieval period to the twentieth
century.

WANTED: Interested students to
help grade papers, answer phones,
type, and various other duties for
school departments. A grade based
on ability and performance, with
the addition of one-half credit per
semester will be given. Areas need-
ing assistants: Audio Visual, office,
guidance, resource center, Biology
and Chemistry lab, English, Art,
Foreign Language, and Social
Studies.

Secretarial duties were lightened
by student help in both the office
and Guidance Department. Six of-
fice aides assisted by answering
phones, taking messages, and fil-
ing. Guidance was helped out by
nine students who addressed enve-
lopes, corrected schedules, and
handed out college applications.

Knowledge of the Dewey Deci-
mal System and location of books
and magazines was mandatory in
becoming an effective library aide.
After being tested on this informa-
tion, the assistants were ready to
help Mrs. Cheryl )oseph, head li-
brarian, to shelve books and maga-
zines, cut out newspaper articles
for the verticle file, and read the
shelves by checking the order of
books and their due-date cards.

Aside from the usual grading of
papers, distribution of tests, and
watching lab, reading, and testing
activities, lab assistants made their
first contribution to the Home-
coming parade by entering a car.
Using "Monty Python's Flying Cir-
cus" as their theme, the lab assis-
tants took second place in the car
competition.

Audio Visual helpers assisted
Miss Marge Gonce by working on
overhead projectors, delivering
tape recorders and film projectors
to classrooms, and setting up
spotlights and sound systems for
various assemblies and pep rallies.

Teacher aides' responsibilities in
the areas of English, Foreign Lan-
guage, Social Studies, journalism.
Science, and Art ranged from fixing
easels, typing tests, making coffee,
running errands, and sometimes
even teaching a class.

Students who applied for these
positions received not only credits
but an added learning experience.
Faculty members benefited be-
cause of the extra help. Overall, the
assistants were indispensable, and
the teachers "just could not do
without them!"

Sounds of pins crashing to the
floor, ecstatic screams, and
unhappy groans pierced the air
every Monday at 3:40 as the
Bowling Club took over the alleys
at Munster Lanes. Sport and fun
were the two reasons why the 80
club members came faithfully each
week and exchanged their $2.25 for
three league games.

Mr. Jeffrey Craves, Bowling Club
sponsor, with help from seniors
Laurie Echterling, treasurer and
Donna Schmidt, secretary,
calculated the average, handicap,
and total pins of all the members
and the standings of the 20 teams.

The season was wrapped up
with a banquet in May. Awards
were presented to deserving
bowlers under the following
categories: first and second highest
average, high game, high series,
and first, second, and third place
teams. Students interested in
bowling were able to become
involved in a school organization

that was usually only associated
with outside leagues.

Promoting the game of chess
and the study of good
sportsmanship were the Chess
Club's main goals as stated in their
constitution. The ten members met
every Thursday after school in
room 109 to challenge each other
and practice for tournaments. The
team finished in third place at the
Valporaiso tourney and individual
firsts were netted by freshmen
Mark Mihalo and Dave Lobeck at
the Hammond Meet.

Senior Pete Haines, president,
handled all club activities with help
from his staff of officers: vice
president and student senate
representative, Lisa Makarewich;
treasurer, freshman Jeff Beatty; and
secretary, senior Sue Weinberg.
The members were sponsored by
Mr. Jeff Graves, and biology
teacher Mr. Brian Young, who
helped teach new strategies and
set tournament dates.

For those students who dared
to be different or showed an inter-
est in things other than the con-
ventional, the school sponsored
many specialized clubs. Among these
varied organizations were the Syn-
chronized Swim Club, the Ski Club,
and a new club for backgammon en-
thusiasts. Students with diversi-
fied interests could now enjoy the
benefits derived from a school
sponsored club.

Despite freezing temperatures
and the late night availability of
the pool, the Synchronized Swim
Club practiced three times a week
in preparation for their annual
performance. Various tricks and
manuevers such as the submarine,
kip, and ballet legs, had to be
learned and perfected, while cos-
tumes had to be sewn before the
show could go on. The performances
held on April 30 and May 1 involved
both in and out of water routines
to musical scores including Pink
Panther, Tubular Bells and Rubber

Ducky.

The backgammon craze has
spread not only throughout the
country, but to various high
schools. The ancient game is enjoying
a rebirth in popularity and united
students in the formation of a new
club. After approval and a
membership drive serious
backgampaon playing began.

A weekend trip to Sugarload
Mountain highlighted the activi-
ties of the Ski Club. The 40 mem-
bers, vacationed on the snowy
Michigan slopes, as part of the
non-school sponsored trip. A
$75 fee was charged to each partici-
pant, which included transporta-
tion, lodging, lift tickets, and
the choice of either down-hill or
cross county skiing.

Whether they were interested in
getting away for the weekend, im-
proving their backgammon game, or
water ballet, students no longer
had to step beyond the school limits
to get involved.

on-the-job train ing offers trial for student's ability

Training

A clown dressed in baggy pants and
flaunting a painted smile, seems so
natural as he falls on his face and goes
through his antics. Most people don't
realize that clowns go to school and
learn how to paint a face, wear baggy
clothes and fall on their faces without
getting hurt.

Princess Elizabeth Alexandria, as a
child, probably trained for her debut into
society by enrolling in charm school and
learning “queenly" etiquette so that she
could take over England's throne as
Queen.

Swimming lap after lap in a school
pool becomes tedious for the swimmer.
This training becomes important if he

wants to earn a gold medal in the
upcoming Olympics.

Although a student may not be a
member of a circus, royal family or
Olympic team, he must train for his
future.

Some students plan for careers as
lawyers, secretaries or carpenters, while
others for the domestic lifestyle.
Whichever the choice, special courses
were offered to assist their decision.

In preparation for a business career,
students enrolled in Sales and Marketing,
Accounting, Business Law or General
Business. They were confronted with
everyday problems of business life, like
the handling of personal funds and the

sales competition between businessmen

After completing Sales and Marketing,
one developed skills as a salesman
under actual working conditions offered
by Distributive Education, (DE). A
person could work in many places, such
as a shoe store or book store, where
they learned to deal with customers and
money or finances.

Cooperative Office Practice gave
students opportunities for on-the-job
training through the Office Education
Association, (OEA). Many of these
students received part-time jobs in
banks, insurance agencies and other
area businesses.

desired, students were offered Typing
and Shorthand. Typing I involved
learning keyboard positions and basic
typing skills, along with increasing typing
speed. The format for Typing II, III, IV
was designed for those wanting more
advanced typing skills for secretarial
work. Students completed business
letters, carbons and manuscripts.
Shorthand I and II taught students to
read and write symbols in place of
words, enabling them to write letters
and take notes at a faster pace.

Computer Math students had the
opportunity to work with data
processing systems while learning the

fundamentals of computers. This class is
a basis for future computer technicians.

For students interested in professions
as carpenters, electronic technicians,
architects and mechanical engineers,
Industrial Arts Department offered a
wide variety of courses. With the help of
protractors, compasses and rulers,
Drafting students designed buildings,
besides learning lettering and sketching
techniques. Automobiles and engines
held the interest of those in Power
Mechanics as they attempted to make
them run again. In the field of
Electronics, students studied transistor
radios and the vacuum tube. By sawing,
sanding and pounding, projects for

Woods were constructed, such as tables
and cabinets, while Introduction to
Metals allowed students to experiment
with projects made of metal.

Inter-Personal Relations, Foods and
Clothing played the major roles in
domestic training. Inter-Personal
Relations students learned of marriage
and the family and how to make them
both survive. Students in Foods and
Clothing actually learned how to provide
for a family by planning meals and
sewing outfits.

School may not train students for the
circus, high society, or the Olympics,
however, it does provide training for
many careers desired by students.

Seconds slowly tick by as the
minute hand inches up towards the
12. Your job interview is set for
4:00. Questions race through your
mind as you anxiously wait for your
prospective employer. What will
he think of you? Will you make a
good impression, and most of all,
will you get the job? The tension
starts to mount, you get up to
leave. Too late! He's coming ....

With help from Mrs. Pat Vadas,
Mr. Kenneth Kirkpatrick, and Mr.
Dan Keown, students received on-
the-job training in two classroom
situations, Office Educational As-
sociation (OEA) and Distributive
Education (DE).

DE involved taking Sales and
Marketing as a junior, joining Dis-
tributive Education Clubs of Amer-
ica, and paying $3.00 dues. Mem-
bership included the chance to
attend field trips to Woodfield
Shopping Center and Old Chicago
along with the opportunity to com-

pete in the Career Development
Conference. Ten regional schools
entered competition at Valporasio
in February to test students' knowl-
edge of the market in 15 areas in-
cluding a sales demonstration, win-
dow display, ad layout, and human
relations. Those placing third or
better went on to compete in state
competition at Frenchlick.

OEA concentrated on the skills
used for office and secretarial jobs.
The girls attended workshops and
conferences in Indianapolis and
Topeka, Kansas during the school
year and summer. In appreciation
of their employers, the girls set up
a Christmas Coffee Break and a
Spring Banquet. A trike race helped
finance activities.

Relief. The interview is finally
over. Your new boss was pleasantly
surprised by your poise and ability.
Your membership has paid off after
all. You got the job!

Settlers in the early days had to
acquire a living by growing their
own food and making their own
clothes. Eventually immigrant
workers, many of them teenagers,
had to survive long hours laboring
in factories.

Today times have changed. Stu-
dents no longer have to work.
Those who do have a job often
work to save money for college or
to gain job experience for a future
profession. Through two organiza-
tions, Cold Teens and Future Med-
ical Health Careers Club (FMHCC)
students were able to gain knowl-
edge for medical and physchologi-
cal careers.

With Gold Teens in its second
year of operation, senior Jean
Corns, president and junior Diane
Meyering, secretary-treasurer
planned activities with their new
sponsor, Miss Penny Roberts.

Besides holding meetings at the
Munster Public Library, many of
the members gave up their extra
time to help the Men's Ward at

Beatty Memorial Hospital in West-
ville, a few nights a month. The 20
members assisted the men in writ-
ing letters to friends and family and
talking to them to cure their
loneliness.

Another club, also with new
sponsors Dr. and Mrs. Charles Eg-
natz, helped members of the
FMHCC to continue their interest
in the field of medicine.

Extra-curricular activities are
needed to compliment the learning
process. FMHCC supplied inter-
ested students with opportunity to
investigate facilities not covered in
the classroom. The 20 members
visited the Radiology Department
at Community Hospital, the Ther-
apy Department at St. Margaret's
Hospital, the Nuclear Medical Cen-
ter at Dyer Hospital, and the Eli
Lilly Drug Company in Indianapolis
to watch the production of pills.

Trips outside of school and new
concepts of vocational training
characterized the activities of these
organizations.

"Mommy, why do I have to go to
school? Can't I stay home and watch
TV?"

"You go to learn and to become
smart, so that someday you can go to
college, and become even smarter.
That's the only way to become
successful."

This is the beginning— the beginning
of twelve years of preparing for
college, preparing for a future. Some
students plan a career without a
college education, but a large per
cent of the students aim for a higher
education.

So what does one do to attain

acceptance into a reputable college?
Do you need only the basic courses
required for high school graduation?

As incoming freshmen received
their first orientation lecture from the
guidance department, they were
introduced to various basic
curriculum outlines for their
upcoming four years of high school.
For those who sought a clerical or
secretarial job, schedules including
courses like typing or shorthand were
suggested. Students who wanted a
college prep schedule were advised
to take classes such as two years of a
foreign language. Courses in German,

Spanish, and French were offered,
and many language students
progressed to fifth and sixth year
levels. To fulfill the semester of the
extra English requirement, most
college bound seniors took either
World Literature or English Literature.
Of course, these were open to all
seniors.

Other than a year of Biology,
students are not required to take
other science courses. Chemistry and
Physics courses were, nevertheless,
filled by students seeking a good
background in

science. Contrary to the accepted
belief that science classes are
generally boring, and limited to long
lectures and tedious assignments,
students found enjoyment in their lab
experiments. In Advanced Biology
students performed actual operations
on live mice. Project Biology offered
students a mixture of pleasure and
learning, including a camping trip to
the Florida Keys during spring
vacation.

Students also continued study in
mathmatics after the required year.

% Preparing

An initial atmosphere of total
confusion prevailed in Geometry
class as proofs were introduced. It
seemed that just after the students
began to pick up the knack of proving
theorems, the course ended. As the
following fall arrived, mathematicians
moved to advanced algebra classes,
and there often became lost in the
mdist of X and Y equations.
Trigonometric functions were the next
step on the ladder, involving sine,
cosine, and tangent functions. To top
it off, asymptotes (ASYNPTOTES?)

were added to the art of graphing
these circle functions. Finally, they
reached a college level Calculus
course which used Euclidean
Geometry.

So, with a high school diploma,
students were ready to enter another
four years of study.

"Hey, Mom, can I take the tuition
money and buy a car? I'll take a year
off before I go to school again, or
maybe I'll get a job at the gas station.

"No, go to college. It's better!"

"Well, Mom, ... I can't get in!"

"Wow! I can't believe I actually
convinced mom and dad to let me
go, what a stroke of luck! Not only are
they letting me attend the state swim
meet, for the weekend, but I get to
drive. Wait till I tell the guys! Let's see,
we have to make room reservations,
buy tickets for the meet, and fill the
car with gas, plus extra spending
money for food and souveniers. It's
sure a good thing I worked overtime
last week, I'd never be able to afford
all this. I'm not quite as fortunate as
John, who's parents pay his way for
things like this. I even have to put
money away for college and pay half
my car insurance. Oh well, at least I
found a job."

Some students are fortunate
enough to have their parents foot the
bill, however, for those less fortunate
students, some money-making means
must be acquired.

As many have already found out,

job hunting can be a discouraging
task. Due to limited amounts of expe-
rience and priorities to those older
than high school age, jobs for teens
are scarce. Such occupations as mak-
ing french fries at chain restaurants,
pumping gas, carrying out groceries
or selling clothes in local stores sum
up the student's job opportunities.

When all else fails, students can still
resort to the more minor jobs. These
include snow-shoveling, babysitting,
grasscutting, and delivering newspa-
pers. In the meantime, they can still
continue the drastic search for a job
with a little higher standards and bet-
ter wages.

"Why me, why me, it never fails,
just when everything seems to be per-
fect, something always goes wrong.
It's just not fair, of all weekends to get
called in to work, it had to be this
one. Well, maybe I can make it to
state next year . .

As the gymnast was handed the
ribbon for placing third in the state
meet, she smiled proudly. The
Swim team dove in the swimming
pool as they were given a trophy
for scoring the most points to win
state. While athletically inclined
students work hard to achieve their
goals and trophies and ribbons;
students showing high scholastic
abilities did the same, as shown by
membership in National Honor
Society and Quill and Scroll.

Better known as the "Brownie
Club", due to trying to get to know
the teachers better, National
Honor Society required more from
the students than a mere inborn
intelligence. By following national
rules, NHS initiated those juniors
and seniors who displayed high
character quality, showed
leadership, were active in school
activities and had maintained a 3.2
grade average.

Profits from a bake sale, sucker
sale, car wash, and dance helped
the 26 NHS members to hold an
induction ceremony for the 90 new
members that were initiated into
the club in April. The profits also
went to pay for certificates,
membership cards, gold seals on
diplomas, a $300 scholarship which
was given to one of the members,
and the traditional graduation gold
tassels.

An honorary club for those
students maintaining a 2.7 grade
point average and having made
major contributions to the
Publications Department was Quill
and Scroll. Last year's initiates held
a bake sale in April to help pay for
candles, centerpieces and flowers
for the Publications Banquet April
19, at which time new members
were initiated.

Good grades, positive qualities

and working on separate
journalistic media, instead of active
participation in the club, helped
those students of Quill and Scroll
to obtain an honored position.

Outstanding foreign language
students had the opportunity to be
sent abroad for a two month
period in the summer. A strong
record in German or Spanish, was
the first criteria for the German and
Spanish honors program. With
their teachers' approval, the
students then took a test at Indiana
University Northwest which tested
their ability to use the skills they
learned in class. If their scores were
high enough, they submitted
applications to IU for
consideration for the trips abroad.
The students were then notified of
their acceptance and interview
dates were set. After this long
process was completed, Kay
Samels for Spanish, and Maureen
Ahn, Rhonda Brauer, Jane Marshall,
Nan Sutter, and Dan Zajac for
German were notified of their
qualification for a summer in either
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, or Krefeld,
Germany.

Based on a faculty vote, senior
Kathy Costello was given the
Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) Good
Citizenship Award. The DAR award
was based on qualities of
dependability, patriotism, service,
and leadership. All the senior girls'
names were submitted to teachers
and the girl with the most votes
was chosen DAR winner.

After long years of study or
involvement in certain areas,
whether they be in sports,
academics, or community life,
these students were recognized for
their accomplishments through
these honorary organizations.

Life in a foreign country would
offer a type of language, food, and
recreation different than your own.
French would be spoken instead of
English, Bratwurst eaten in place of
hamburgers, and soccer watched
rather than football. Learning about
the difference between various cul-
tures was the main purpose of both
the American Field Service (AFS)
and the French Club.

Affiliated with the adult AFS
chapter and sponsored by the
Munster Rotary Club, a new orga-
nization, the American Field Ser-
vice, was formed. Sponsored by
Mrs. Helga Meyer and Mrs. Anne
Whiteley, foreign language teach-
ers, the club was open to anyone
interested in international culture
and foreign exchange programs.
Fund-raisers reduced the cost of
sending a student abroad for either
a summer or a year. Members can-
vassed house-to-house over a pe-
riod of four weekends to sell cou-
pons for Burger King whoppers, at
the price of a dollar per ticket.
Profits of $1025.00 helped pay for
recreational activities and an inter-
national weekend where AFS for-
eign exchange students stayed with
club members in the area.

However, it was not all work as
AFS members attended a hay-ride,
planned a surprise party for senior

Rune Myhre, the foreign exchange
student from Fauske, Norway, at-
tended three Christmas programs
at the Museum of Science and In-
dustry, and hosted an international
night.

Plans were formulated by 25
French Club members, under the
sponsorship of Mrs. Alyce Wack-
owski, to dine at the "Magic Pan",
a restaurant in Chicago, for crepes
and to attend the "Christmas
Round the World" exhibit at the
museum. Afterwards, their taste
buds were treated with French
food. Students found that they did
not have to dine at exotic restau-
rants to grab a bite of French food
as French Club's bake sales during
lunch hour contained not only the
usual brownies, but also French
delicacies of cream puffs and bon-
bons. Proceeds from the bake sales
financed the bus for field trips.

Furthering their study, members
looked forward to a five week trip
of France. During the summer they
toured the Riviera, University of
Nice and Paris along with stops, in
Brittany, Normandy and London.

Insight beyond the borders of a
student's home life was provided
by AFS and French Club as they
participated in activities which fa-
miliarized them with people's life-
styles worldwide.

"Hey lucky, step right up! Yes
you! Everybody wins! Nobody
loses! And for only one ticket
and a little luck you could be the
proud owner of this loveable
over-sized goldfish!"

All it took was a few hours to
transform the fieldhouse into an
arena filled with games, prizes,
clowns, and fun. This year's car-
nival was sponsored by the Se-
nior Class under the aid of Mr.
Jerry Schroeder.

During the afternoon before
the carnival, high school stu-
dents dressed as clowns visited
the elementary schools and
spread carnival spirit by beckon-
ing the students to attend. The
clowns proved successful the
next day when the doors
opened and the majority of the
attenders were elementary
schoolers.

Youngsters had a chance to
try their luck in a large variety of
games in hopes of winning a
prize. Thirteen booths, which
were run by different classes
and organizations within the
school, helped to complete the
carnival. Some of the most pop-
ular attractions were the jail, the
goldfish toss, and the
moonwalk.

This year the jail was spon-
sored by the AFS club. Students
found it especially fun to throw
teachers and even principal Dr.
Karl Hertz into the jail cell. The
unusually large goldfish in col-
ored water attracted many at-
tenders into trying their luck at
the goldfish toss sponsored by
Project Biology. Another big at-
traction was the Moonwalk, the
airfilled tramp-like dome run by
the Junior Class. Even the base-
ball team couldn't resist the
temptation to take a moonwalk.

Even though the crowd was
smaller than last year, the carni-
val was a success. By the end of
the day, profits reached $1650.
The money was divided evenly
between the Junior and Senior
Class.

Ooh— do I ever hurt! I knew I
should have used some lotion.
After being on the beach all day,

I am so burned! I can't believe
Prom is over already. It was only
a few weeks ago that I was start-
ing to get ready for it. Getting
my dress, flowers and tickets
seemed to take so long, but ac-
tually it came pretty fast!

Though it took many weeks to
prepare, Prom was suddenly
over in one night— May 15. The
junior Class, sponsored by math
teacher Mr. George Pollingue,
was responsible for the Prom
activities. Voting for the theme,
"Precious and Few", was the
first of many steps. The voting
took place during all junior his-
tory classes. Committees for
decorations, bids, tickets, pic-
tures and favors were formed;
chairmen were selected and the
place was chosen. Permission
slips were a new idea and were
required by all those who at-
tended so parents would know
where Prom was being held.

After changing their minds
many times, decorations were
under way. Starting Friday after
school, long hours were spent
re-doing the cafeteria. Every-
thing was finally completed by
5:30 Saturday afternoon.

After visiting pre-prom par-
ties, couples entered the corri-
dor by the Industrial Arts area
and checked in at 9:00 p.m. At
this time bids, which were ac-
tually Prom programs, were
handed out to each couple. The
entrance of the cafeteria was
transformed into an archway
with colored lights and couples
passed through it and pro-
ceeded down a pathway leading
to a fountain with running water
where a mirror ball was hanging.
Other decorations consisted of
more archways, trellises, murals
and floral centerpieces.

When not dancing to Stone-
wood Fox, couples waited in
line for pictures taken by

the refreshment table or sat out
on the patio, surrounded by

At midnight, 224 couples re-
ceived brandy snifters as a re-
membrance of the night and
then headed for post-prom at
Wellman's Bridge-Vu Theater in
Valparaiso. Once again it was
required for couples to sign in at
the door. After a brief rest from
a buffet dinner, couples took to
the dance floor and to the tab-
letops while Humpsucker pro-
vided the music. Near the end of
the evening, the band started to
play the theme song, but after
the first verse they quit, for they
did not know how to perform it.

After a final encore, the music
stopped and Prom was over. At
4:30 a.m., weary couples went to
their cars and headed towards
home where they prepared for a
long day at the beach.

To some, the four years drag-
ged by; to others, the years just
flew. Some were glad for that
day to come; others weren't so
happy; but all felt a sense of
pride when their diploma was
safely in their hands.

May 30 was the final get to-
gether for the Class of 76. Never
again would they be called high
school students. Baccalaureate
was held at two in the after-
noon. After the processional and
invocation, given by Class Presi-
dent Tom Etling, readings were
given by Becky Breaz, Michelle
Mezey, Lois Hand, Shari Smith
and Rev. Theodore J. Mens of St.
Thomas More.

To the sounds of “Pomp and
Circumstance", 443 seniors,
robed in blue and white with bi-
centennial red, white and blue
tassles and medallions, entered
the fieldhouse at 8 p.m. for
commencement exercises.
Gayle Rovai, Student Senate
President, gave the invocation
and co-salutatorian Cindy Pow-
ers, a junior who graduated
early, gave the welcome. After
the Concert Choir sang "An-
them for Spring" and "Long and
Winding Road", valedictorian
Kathy Costello gave the com-
mencement address, while the
senior address was given by
Carol Weiss, co-salutatorian.

At that time the long awaited
diplomas were presented to the
class by Dr. Wallace Under-
wood, superintendent, and the
School Trustees. Senior Chris
Kappes then sang, "Can You See
Them Too?", his own com-
position which he dedicated to
his fellow classmates.

After graduating their tassles
from right to left, a burst of ap-
plause echoed through the field-
house and made the seniors re-
alize that their four high school
years were finally over and won-
der what the future had in store
for them.

Boredom — what is this thing
that can overcome a person at
the most unfortunate time?

Someone may find studying
the ancient Egyptians the most
interesting aspect of history,
while another person finds this
totally dull, as he daydreams
about being elsewhere. To over-
come that far too often bore-

dom, join new activities or think
of something different to do like
going to Burger's and shaking
hands with everyone you see or
by standing on the corner of
Ridge and Calumet and count-
ing all the Volkswagons that
pass.

By getting involved, you can
possibly meet new people and
get together for a weekend.
Boredom isn't always that easy
to beat, but all it takes is a little
creativity to come up with
something to do.

board outside the Athletic Office and I
MADE IT! ... I can hardly wait! ... I can
join the FCA and become a letterman,
then I can hold the ropes during halftime
at basketball games. I just hope that we
can hold the winning tradition, but even
if we lose a few games, I will still be a
winner because at least I tried . . . Heck,
the girls volleyball team got to play in
the State Finals and didn't win, but they
still received a great homecoming wel-

they were able to do what no other girls'
team had done yet; . . . they brought

Love ... To most people this word brings
thoughts of affection, cute couples, and hugs
and kisses. But to 22 boys, this word took on the
additional meaning of tension when one is
losing, or excitement when hoping for a possible
shut out game in tennis.

Consisting of both JV and Varsity teams, the
netters ended their season with a 13-3 overall
record with losses to Lafayette Jefferson 4-1,
South Bend Adams 4-1, and a disappointing loss
to rival Hammond Clark 4-1 .

Despite these losses, the season ended with a
perfect 6-0 conference record enabling the team

to sweep the conference title for the fourth
consecutive year. First year Coach Ed
Musselman summed up the season when he
said, "We had a very young team this year but I
feel everyone practiced hard and improved in
mental attitude."

Under the leadership of co-captains
sophomore Greg Oslan and junior Barry
Rothstein, long afternoon practices lasted from
3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Constant playing in their
free time helped get the team in shape for
competition.

With a 5-0 victory over Bishop Noll in the first
round of sectionals, held on the Griffith courts,
the netters advanced to the quarter finals
defeating Lake Central 5-0. Although there was a
total team effort, a loss to Clark, 4-1 , in the semi-
finals put the netters out of competition for the
title.

"Giving up only one game out of five matches,
the Lowell meet was an exciting win for us,"

recalled Pride, Hustle, and Desire winner junior
Jeff Gray. Two singles players, Tim Hester and
Greg Oslan, as well as the two doubles teams,
consisting of Barry Rothstein and Jeff Gray, and

Cross Country team started organized
practices beginning in early August, although
most of the team ran throughout the summer,
rain or shine.

At the start of the school year, the boys
practiced every weekday at 6:30 a.m., running an
average of eight to ten miles per day. Coach
Kevin Vana estimated that each runner covered
over 1200 miles during the summer.

Constant practice proved to be an important
factor as the season ended with a 8-4 record.
High hopes for a 12-0 season were hindered
when they lost to Griffith, Hammond Tech, and
Bishop Noll.

in dual meets. But, their hopes were quickly

sectionals. The Harriers placed fourth in
sectional play out of 22 participating teams and
secured third place in conference. Going on to
regionals, the team placed fifth out of 16 teams
and missed traveling to state by only 18 points.

Co-captains of the team were seniors Rich

"Great! I can't wait to start getting
in shape for the football season. I just
know we'll be the conference champs
this year with a clean record of 10-0.
Being out there ... on that football
field . . . under those lights, wow, it
just does something to me!" ex-
claimed Joe Jock.

"Gee, I just don't know about going
out for the swim team. Think of all
those practices. Believe it or not,
some are even at 6:30 in the morning!
Imagine getting out of a nice, cozy,
warm bed and jumping into icy, cold
water. No way! plus, my school work
might suffer as much as my body,"
thought Ozzie Ordinary.

"Hey man, just 'cuz I'm 6'9" does

not mean I'm going out for the bas-
ketball team. That coach would make
me get a haircut! I'd lose my image!"
argued Freddie Freak.

"Sure, I'd like to be on drill team or
cheerleading. But I just do not know if
I'd fit in with those girls. Look at all
the time they put in with performing,
practices, and money-making
projects. I don't think I'd be able to
go out in front of a crowd like that,"
contemplated a hopeful Rhonda Rah.

Although many shy away from the
thought of team tryouts or athletic in-
volvements, 20% of the student body
were involved in some form of the
sports program. Approximately 300
students were involved as players,
managers, or trainers with an addi-
tional 100 supporting and backing the
teams as band, cheerleader, and drill
team members. Through the work of

31 coaches, ten boy's varsity sports
and seven girl's varsity sports exists.

Different sports have different pol-
icies concerning "Team Tryouts." It is
considered a "sensitive area" to
coaches who must "cut" players
when choosing their squad. "Cutting
is done only when absolutely neces-
sary," stated Athletic Director John
Friend. "This is done because the faci-
lities and staff are limited." Football,
boy's and girl's swimming, wrestling,
and boy's and girl's track are varsity
sports which students do not have to
"try out" to make the team. Yet, in or-
der to stay on the team, work, time
and effort must be shown on each in-
dividual's part. The other varsity
sports, boy's and girl's tennis, basket-
ball, and golf, soccer, girl's gymnas-

and vol-
leyball, re-
quire tryouts
to be placed on
the team.

Tryouts may put a
great physical as well
as an emotional strain on
the individual since much work
is involved to condition the player
and get him in shape. Simple jogging
around the track on the first day of
practice may result in sore muscles
and aching shin splits. Weather is an
important factor for the outdoor
sports. Imagine exercising football
drills and scrimmages in 90 degree
heat, or playing soccer on a muddy
field with a northernly March wind.
Open blisters are oflen results from
gymnastic, baseball, and tennis work-
outs. Often the competition may be
so tough, that many individuals just
give up and walk out of tryouts. They
wonder if it is really worth it.

Eligibility standards must also be
met. While all coaches give players
their specific regulations, general rules

must be followed. Most disliked by
the male athletes is the hair grooming
rule. Hair must be kept off the collar,
ears, and eyebrows, sideburns must
not pass below earlobes, and mus-
taches are not permitted. Emotional
strain is placed on the individual since
passing work must be achieved in
four solids. Also, no smoking or drink-
ing is allowed during training or the
season.

Although it varies with the different
sports, two to three weeks are given
in order to prepare for tryouts. While
tryouts are in session, a coach looks
for many qualities in a player but es-
pecially attitude and ability. Natural
ability is looked for and usually shows
through drills.

~ exer-

cises, and
scrimmages. A
coach looks for
the athletes who
possess a good atti-
tude in all situations.
Scholastic ratings are also taken into
consideration.

Some individuals would like to try
out for a team but don't because they
can't handle the discipline, don't have
enough time, or don't get along with
the coach.

The fact that Rhonda Rah cheered
joe Jock and his teammates on to a
co-championship conference title,
that Ozzie Ordinary contributed to
the swim team's success, and that
Freddie Freak lost his image proves
that despite all the arguments against
team tryouts and involvement, the
student body is interested.

When you think of your basic
cheerleader, you probably imagine
the peppy, popular girl with the
short skirt, bobby socks, saddle
shoes, and bulky sweater. Little do
most people realize that at 4:30 am
these same girls sometimes trade in
their uniforms for coats and snea-
kers and prepare themselves for an
early morning job ... T-Ping the
houses of school athletes.

Once again, the Varsity cheer-
leaders attended the National
Cheerleading Association Camp at
Illinois University. Despite the in-
juries and sicknesses they encoun-
tered, the cheerleaders managed to
bring home a variety of new ideas
for routines and cheers. These
ideas were put to use during the
practices held every Tuesday after
school, under the supervision of
new sponsor, Mrs. Victoria Cooper.

For the first time in Munster
Highs' history, the Varsity Cheer-

leaders became a part of the an-
nual Fourth of July Parade. Their
participation in the parade helped
promote Booster Club
Membership.

“Vim, vigor, and vitality," was
needed by the “rahs" to help en-
courage school spirit. With the aide
of six senior lettermen, the cheer-
leaders brought out the spirit and
sportsmanship of the student
body. Profits from bake sales, a
Homecoming mum sale, a rum-
mage sale, and a dance, enabled
cheerleaders to purchase decora-
tions for players' houses and paint
and paper for victory signs.

Next time you hear the shout
"G-O-O-D L-U-C-K," remember
that isn't the start of the cheer-
leaders' job. Their work to help
boost the teams to a victory starts
much earlier, sometimes even as
early as 4:30 a.m.

Cheerleaders 129

It was near the day of the big
game! All the football players wore
jerseys and jeans to school while
cheerleaders and pep club mem-
bers were busy hanging team sup-
porting signs. All of a sudden you,
an ordinary dressed student clad in
blue jeans and a shirt, were sur-
rounded by a number of girls wear-
ing red and white uniforms, white
bobby socks, and saddle shoes,
jackets with the letters D-R-l-L-L
T-E-A-M flashed before your eyes.
The importance of the day took its
effect and you became enthralled
in spirit.

Although Pep Club had been
plagued with lack of interest in past
years, a new club was revised. Any-
one with just an ounce of spirit was
eligible to join. Stretched across
the commons, paintbrushes in
hand, members transformed plain
pieces of white paper into signs
proclaiming an upcoming victory.
For those with limited artistic abil-
ity but lots of spirit, backing the
teams was as important as the
game itself. Sounds of kazoos filled
the air while others used their vocal
chords screaming cheers and
creating a feeling of enthusiasm
throughout the bleachers.

However, Pep Club did not end
with the sound of the buzzer sig-
naling the game's end. Sponsored
by Mrs. Jill Koelling, art teacher,
members also were involved in the
sale of helium balloons, pep but-
tons, and numerous bake sales.

Although Pep Club was open to
all interested, tryouts were held for

Drill Team. Forty girls and two al-
ternates were judged on appear-
ance and coordination. Drill Team
performed in half-time shows, pa-
rades, and pep rallies.

In a different type of class,
elected officers were responsible
for the 4th hour class. Routines
were arranged and practiced step
by step during class with extra
practices before school. The hard
work and hours of practice faced
the true test when the Drill Team
appeared on the field. As halftime
grew nearer, members became
more nervous and difficult routines
were quickly rehearsed to assure
perfection. Meanwhile, the unsus-
pecting crowd was oblivious to the
diverse whisperings on the field of
"which hand goes up?" and "when
do I come in?".

In addition to performing, mem-
bers sold suckers, held bake sales,
and sponsored a car wash in the
summer. Profits of these fund-rai-
sers financed the cost of their first
annual banquet and senior charms.

Arousing spirit-filled crowds,
performing in the half-time shows,
and backing the football and bas-
ketball teams onto victory were
some accomplishments of Pep
Club and Drill Team. However,
even more importantly, these
groups were a symbol of spirit.
Sometimes, this spirit became con-
tagious, and you, an ordinary
dressed student, can't help but
scream for those guys out on the
playing field or floor.

Remember those long, hot, sweltering August
days when one would think of nothing but
hitting the Dunes or Wells Street, basking in the
glorious sun and quenching one's thirst.
Sometimes the idea of getting Dad's boat out
and cruising around Lake Michigan on water skis
came up and was put to use. Maybe one can
recall cool evenings of bicycle riding or walks
through the park. Many afternoons of sitting in
an air conditioned house were often spent
watching reruns of "The Three Stooges," "The
Flintstones," or a favorite baseball team.

In early August, 92 prospective football players
dropped these thoughts and started

concentrating twice a day on weight lifting,
running sprints, learning plays, and practicing. All
of this activity took place with full equipment
including pads, shorts, pants, jerseys, and
helmets. And to think that on those 90-degree
days, someone else was hot in only shorts and a
t-shirt, or a skimpy bikini!

Contrary to past seasons, there was an equal
amount of strong and weak points. The
Mustangs captured the Lake Suburban
Conference title for the fourth time in six years,
but for the first

time, it was as co-chapions with the Crown Point
Bulldogs. “It was a disappointing season to the
coaches as well as to the senior players," com-
mented Head Coach John Friend. "Most teams
would be happy with a 6-4 overall record and a
co-championship conference title, but we
thought we'd come out on the very top this year.
We set higher goals at Munster than most
schools do."

Injuries were a major setback to the Stangs
once again. Two senior tailbacks were injured
early in the season and this left a weakened of-
fense. Yet the defensive team lived up to their
expectations, as senior offensive lineman Brett
Helm captured All-State honors on the United

Press International and Associated Press polls,
while senior linebacker John O'Connell received
Honorable Mention on the UPI poll and senior
defensive lineman David Wade received Honor-
able Mention on both the UPI and AP polls.

The season started off on a bad note with Val-
paraiso and Hobart defeating the Mustangs in
the two opening games. "The Valpo game was
our most significant one throughout the whole
season. This loss was a deep and bitter blow
considering we outplayed them statistically. Los-
ing in overtime 21-14 is always hard to accept,
but even worse is the fact that Valpo went on to
become state champs," mused Coach Friend.

onday morning at school . . .
things seem under control . . .
nothing unusual happening
. . . Oh, but wait— what's that
strange looking booth in the middle
of the hall? I proceed further to inves-
tigate ... As I scrutinize this booth it
appears that there are two doors, one
which reads, “Enter and See" and the
back door which reads "What It's
Like to Be." The mysteries these mes-
sages carry intrigue me, so I proceed
further and place my hand on the
"Enter" knob . . .

As I walk in, the door shuts behind
me. A light suddenly flashes a note on
the wall which reads, "Push button

and change." As I look around for the
button, another light flashes on a
small red button, just below the sign. I
press the button . . . Zap**Zing**
Zong**, and the exit door opens.
When I step out, things seem differ-
ent. I have this uncontrollable urge to
play football, shoot baskets, and play
frizbee. What has happened? Could it
be . . . that I've changed into a ... a
...a JOCK?!?

The typical Jock stereotype is a
young man or woman who engages
in activities within the sports world.
They tend to be overly muscular. The
girls are often referred to as she-
men— muscular, masculine, unattrac-

tive young ladies who have some-
thing wrong with their hormones,
which is why they become athletes.
The boys, on the other hand, become
the most sought-after males in school,
as they strut down the halls wearing
their sporty gear.

The first major decision in the day
of a jock is what jersey to wear. They
are plagued by an overabundance of
numbered shirts, lettered sweaters,
and grass-stained jeans. And who
could forget their ever-popular let-
termen jackets, complete with all-
sport medals? Many feel it's a bit im-
practical to wear a wool jacket every-
day. ... in rain, snow, wind or heat.
After all, 90 degrees is pretty hot for a
jacket of any kind! Female athletes,
not to be outdone by the guys, can be
found clad in painters' pants topped
with letter sweaters or hooded sweat-
shirts; refusing to be seen in a "sissy"
skirt.

Of course, aside from the instant
recognition they get with their
threads, a day can't go by in any
sports season without some jock's
picture, name, or life story in the pa-
per. Because of this constant ex-
posure, they have their choice of girls
every night. Anyone would swoon to
be able to go out with a boy jock; but
a girl jock has to face the opposite sit-
uation. No one wants to go out with a
muscular monster! The boy's charm
does more for them than getting girls,
it helps them get a diploma.

This list could go on and on, but is
it true that all jocks fit this descrip-
tion? On the contrary, most jocks fit

only one or two of these stereotyped
characteristics; and most girl athletes
do not fit any of the labels placed
upon them. How many times have
you really seen the imaginary muscu-
lar, full bodied, masculine, sharp-fea-
tured “butch" we tend to associate
with those girls who have and use
their athletic ability? The double stan-
dard we have concerning girls and
boys in athletics is not only unfair, but
often untrue.

140 Lettermen/Letterwomen

Women's Liberation took a step
forward in many areas including
the athletic department. The Let-
termen's club was forced to step
aside and share the limelight with
the newly formed Letterwomen's
club. Girls who participated in var-
sity sports were awarded for the
first time with a letter, which they
proudly displayed on a bright red
sweater similiar to their male
counterparts. The two organiza-
tions honored and united students
who expended time, energy, and
effort practicing for and competing
in interscholastic sports.

Coach Mike Niksic sponsored
the 105 members of the Let-
termen's club. Eligibility require-
ments included paying $1.00 dues
and earning a varsity letter in at
least one of the 10 sports spon-
sored by the school. The annual
dues and profits made by selling
programs helped pay for the jack-
ets and sweaters which repre-
sented their achievements. "Jocks"
were often seen helping around
the school and at various athletic
contests. Their duties involved

sweeping floors, ushering, and sup-
porting cheerleaders in their efforts
to spread enthusiasm.

The Letterwomen's club, which
met once a month, had rules and
regulations much like those of the
male athletes. The members had to
earn a letter in a varsity sport and
sell programs in girls events to earn
money for the treasury. The money
was used to set up a Hall of Fame
for the girls in the hallway adjacent
to the Resource Center and pay for
the trophies awarded to the most
valuable girl on each team. The
club was responsible for setting up
the Athletic Award Banquet for
girls held in the spring. Here, Ms.
Mary Beth Stonebraker, sponsor
and physical education teacher
presented the distinguished players
with the awards.

Guys and girls, although com-
peting on different teams, were
recognized for their achievements.
The sweaters were proof positive
that with the intervention of the fe-
minists, girls no longer had to hide
their athletic ability.

A 21-6 overall team record is something any
school or coach would be proud of. Not to men-
tion first place in sectionals, first place in region-
al, and a trip to the state meet!

Surprising everyone but themselves, the girl's
volleyball team upset defending champion Gavit
to secure the first regional championship in the
school's volleyball history.

Under first year coach Sydnie Meltzer, and as-
sistant coach Bob Shinkan, a new type of team
playing and strategy was introduced. Striving for
consistency in serving and receiving, working on
endurance and mobility, along with working on
the basic fundamentals, helped introduce a new
type of offense which eventually improve the
player's abilities.

"The whole team has come a long way; a lot
of new things had to be learned. It feels good to
get as far as we did. The player's accomplished
something they were sure they couldn't do. I
think we've set a precedent for future years," re-
called Miss Meltzer.

Losses to Highland, Gavit, and two losses to
Morton earlier in the season didn't stop the team
from advancing to sectional play. Avenging these
losses enabled the girl's to capture the sectional
crown for the second time since 1973. In the
Lake Suburban Conference, a co-championship
was shared with Highland.

Success appears to be contagious with the
varsity swimming programs. The Girl's Swim
Team gained acclaim with their first state swim
crown at Muncie's Ball State University,
continuing the tradition the boy's began with
their accumulation of state trophies.

Coached by Miss Betty Liebert and assisted by
Miss Gloria Kemp, the Shehorses compiled a
total of 341 points over distant second place
Merrillville with 225 points to capture the
sectional title at Valparaiso High School. Nine
swimmers, one diver, and both relay teams

points. Capturing first place honors were
freshman Jane Kiernan in the 50 yard freestyle at
25.7 and the 200 yard medley relay team of
freshman Jane Kiernan, sophomores Karen
Easter and Gayle Johnson, and junior Claudia
Mott at 1:58.

After returning from Muncie, the girls were
honored Sunday afternoon with an assembly in
the fieldhouse. Team co-captains senior Alice
Easter and junior Marci Niksic presented the
state trophy to principal Dr. Karl Hertz.

"It was a total team effort to win state. It
wasn't just the girls who scored, it was everyone
cheering us on," summed up co-captain Alice
Easter about the victory.

As you trudge to school, you think about the
big State meet. In school you see signs plastered
all over the walls exclaiming "Score Four", "Beat
Riley" and "Two's Company, Three's a Crowd,
But Four's a full Trophy Case". You open up the
locker room door and with a burst of energy
from the Carnation Instant Breakfast, you jump
into the frigid water.

Only ten more laps to go, turn, you have to
win! Only eight more laps to go, you know
coach Jepson wants this victory more than
anything else! You're almost through, two more
to go, you think you might have a chance! One
more lap, think positive, you know you can win!

"I planned on four and I will Plan on five",
stated Coach Jon Jepson after the Seahorses

managed to bring home the state title for the
fourth consecutive year. Backed by avid fans and
a strong desire to win, the Seahorses compiled a
total of 161 points. With individuals placing in 14
spots, the team edged rival South Bend Riley by
10 points.

Although the 400 yard free relay team was
disqualified for a false start, the Seahorses still
scored in every other event.

Junior Dave Bombar was the only team
member to score an individual title. For the
second straight year, Dave won the 100 yard
butterfly in a new state record of 52.483.

new state record of 1 :40.948. At the Saturday
finals the South Bend Adams relay team placed
first and set a new state record, thus, the
Seahorses finished a close second.

Other Seahorses in the top six were
sophomore Chris Chelich who placed second in
diving; juniors Larry Low, who had a fifth place
finish in the 500 yard freestyle, Scott McCain,
who placed fourth in the 200 yard individual
medley, and Bombar, who got third in the 50
yard freestyle. Seniors Mark Watson placed
fourth in diving while Scott Sutter finished
second in the 50 yard freestyle and third in the

100 yard freestyle.

Swimmers who also earned points for the
Seahorses were seniors )im Brumm in the 200

his escapade, Snow shook the jug at the Riley
team. Riley responded by having a few swim-
mers from their team run over with sponges and
buckets to remove the so-called "evil-water".

After returning from State, a parade and as-
sembly were held in honor of the team. "I really
like all the enthusiasm there is for swimming, all
the signs and cheers really helped us psyche up
for State", stated captain Scott Sutter.

At Sectionals, the team qualified 22 swimmers,
both relay teams, and 3 divers, which was the
most they had ever sent to State.

Holding the annual "Munster Relay Meet", the
Seahorses placed second, just a few points be-
hind Riley. They also fell later in the season to
top-ranked Riley in a duel meet with the score of
82-90.

They ended their season with an overall 13-1
record. Practicing each morning and after
school, the Seahorses prepared for the Sectional
and State meets. Participating in the New Trier
Invitational and the Hinsdale College events, the
Seahorses placed first and second respectively.

Assisting coach Jepson were Cordon Olson,

Who would have ever thought that a group of
so-called "cocky", "brash", young basketball
players from Munster would capture the
Calumet Sectional crown?

Going into action with a 9-11 pre-tournament
record, the 'Stangs were not considered the
favorites. "While going into the sectional, we
were rated fourth. Based on past performances,
that was about right," stated Coach Mike
Copper. But we weren't as bad as a 9-11 mark
would indicate. We lost a lot of close ones; the
kids finally knew how to react in a clutch
situation." But after defeating Merrillville in
opening round of play, 64-51, and then putting
down Crown Point, 69-67, in the semi-final
game, which was never separated by more than
one point at quarter breaks, things began to look

better.

Backed by the screaming student body,
Grinder Fan Club, and the supportive parents,
the Mustangs took revenge on arch-rival
Highland in championship action. Highland, who
upset undefeated Lake Central in the first game,
and later Griffith, nipped the 'Stangs by one
point in regular season action. While playing in a
pressure-filled, capacity-packed gymnasium,
Head Coach Mike Copper's crew pulled through
with a 65-59 "sweet" revengeful victory over the
Trojans to win their first sectional basketball
tournament since 1969. A car caravan met in the
Wicker Park Clubhouse parking lot to police
escort the sectional champions back to the

fieldhouse where an informal "congratulations"
gathering took place.

Going on to regional competition at Gary
West Side High School, Coach Copper
acknowledged the fact that "we certainly were
not the favorites, but we were excited about
being there. We still thought we were a year
away and that the regional would be an excellent
learning experience." In the second game of the
afternoon, the 'Stangs fell to the hands of top-
ranked East Chicago Washington, 79-63.

Finishing fifth in the Lake Suburban
Conference, a 2-4 record was achieved, with a
12-12 overall account. Key turnovers were the

lost six games by five points or less and two
others by ten and seven. Oddly enough, the
'Stange record was 7-3 on the road and only 2-8
at home before sectional play. Copper attributed
this to the fact that "maybe the kids just played
looser away from home where there was less
pressure." For the Mustangs, the regular season
ended with a flourish as they bounced back and
were victorious in their last three games, finishing
with their best record since 1969. At Vincennes,
the 'Stangs upended fifth ranked Loogootee in
the final game to capture the holiday tournament
crown and bring home another trophy.

with his average of 16.7 points per game, junior

6'1" forward Steve )ohnson claimed 10.4 and
10.3 marks, respectively. 6'1" junior guard Dan
Banas added a 9.1 scoring average to the
Mustang attack. Along with topping the team in
"hustle points" with 110, Dan was also the assist
leader with a 3.2 average. Leading the squad with
139 rebounds for a 7.8 average was Ray. Steve
followed with 104. Ray was also the leader in
field goal accuracy, sinking 47% of his shots, with
Kent following at 45%. As a team, the Mustangs
shot 43% from the field. Kent and Ray were
Calumet Sectional All-Star selections from the

Times and Compass.

The Ninth Grade A and B team, coached by
Mr. jack Yerkes, compiled records of 15-4 and
10-6, respectively. Coach Ed Robertson led the
junior varsity team to a 30-6 record and
sophomore Paul Wolak moved up to varsity
at half season.

With only three seniors on the squad,
Copper's crew had the excuse of being young.
Young, inexperienced teams are expected to
drop close games. But, young or not. Coach
Copper expected big things from his group this
season. He got better than "big", as Copper and
his players brought home a sectional title.

Although the game of hockey has been
around since the 1870's, this was only the third
year for the hockey team to participate, due to
the lack of interest and high cost of equipment.
Since hockey is not a school sponsored sport,
the team had a great number of obstacles to
overcome. The greatest difficulty was the cost
which they met by raising $1,000 in donations
from sponsors, to pay for league fees, practice,
sessions and team jerseys. Except for the jerseys,
the team furnished all of their own equipment.

Under the direction of Coach Dan Keown the
team officially began practice on October 23 at
Omni 41. Practices were held every Thursday
afternoon for one hour. The four months of
practice helped captain senior Dave Spurlock
and his teammates send the season with 14-2-2
in dual meets. Practice paid off for sophomores
Eric Compton and Bob Tompulis as they
improved their skating and became more
aggressive throughout the year. Dave was the
league's leading scorer with 48 goals and 19
assists for a total of 67 points. Senior Scott
Hannock was third in league scoring with 23

goals and 17 assists for a total of 40 points. The
team sent three players and Coach Keown to
compete in the Western-Division-All-Star game.
Dave, Scott, and senior goalie Ron Mola were
the representatives. Ron was the All-Star goalie;
his goal against average for the regular season
was 2.00, second best in the league.

Besides regular season games, the team
competed in the Northern Indiana High School
Hockey League, and placed second overall. The
team's spirits were let down when they lost in
the opening game of the state meet to South
Bend Saint joe with a 4-1 finish. Some lost
confidence was regained when they won the
opening game of the NIHSHL by beating Bishop
Noll 9-1. In the second round of the meet
Andrean beat them with a 2-1 score in last
minute overtime. Advancing into the third round
against Thornridge, they were defeated with a 4-
3 score to lose the championship. Looking
towards next year Coach Keown said “We will
lose half the team to graduation this year, so next
year there will be plenty of openings. It will be a
rebuilding year for Munster Hockey".

With the ever increasing popularity of girl's
gymnastics, the Mustang gymnastic dynasty re-
ceived a stiff challenge throughout the season.
Highlighting the season was the accomplished
feat of the Optional Team who placed second at
the state meet.

Under the coaching of Ms. Kathy Olivotto and
Ms. Sydnie Meltzer, the Beginning Level finished
with a 5-4 record; Intermediate level completed
the season at 5-4 and the Optional Level com-
piled a 8-1 season record.

At the Munster hosted Lake Suburban Confer-
ence meet, the gymnasts captured all three titles.
A co-conference championship was shared with
Highland at the end of the reqular season.

Led by freshman Melissa Murin, first place all-
around winner, the Optional team was the only
level to capture a sectional crown at Merrillville.

Seniors Gayle Rovai and Linda Porter took sec-
ond and third place all-around honors. Freshmen
Therese Cerajewski and Suzy Shaw advanced to
regionals at the beginning level; while juniors Sue
Echterling and Jane Fissinger, first and second
place all-around winners, advanced at the inter-
mediate level. Hampering the intermediate
squad from a possible title was a hip injury sus-
tained late in the season by all-around performer
Kathy Allen.

Upending defending state champion, Portage,
the optional team captured the regional title.
Jane placed second on bars at the intermediate
level while Suzy placed first in beginning floor
competition.

At the state meet in Indianapolis, the Mus-
tang's bid for a state title fell short at they placed

As traditions change, so has the tradition of
women coaches for girls. For the first time in the
school's history, the Girls' Varsity Basketball
team had a man for a coach. “He really worked
us hard, but it all payed off in the end," recalled
junior Linda Angell.

Divided into a Junior-Varsity and Varsity
squad, the girls practiced every night after school
from 3:30-5:00 in preparation for Sectionals.
Coached by Miss Carla Bowers, the Junior-Var-
sity team consisted of 12 members. Practice
payed off as they ended their season with an 8-6
record. The girls also placed second in Confer-
ence with a 5-1 record.

Varsity, coached by Mr, Robert Maicher, fin-
ished the season 13-3. “This proved to be our
best season ever, all the practice was worth it in
the end," stated Coach Maicher.

Early in the season, the team captured the
Lake Suburban Conference Tourney. They also
took the Conference Crown by placing 6-0.
Sophomore Sandy Capps was named All-Con-
ference guard and senior Gail Rudakas was
awarded All-Conference center.

At the Sectional championship, held on home
court, the team lost in the finals to top-ranked
East Chicago Roosevelt by a margin of two
points; thus ending all possibilities of advancing
to Regional action.

Gail Rudakas also broke the record of career
leading scorer held by Kris Rucinski by scoring
405 points in her four years with the team.

As a money raising project, the team sold tick-
ets for the Girls Athletic sponsored High School
Faculty vs. Middle School Faculty Basketball
game held in the fieldhouse.

Strict weight categories antagonized wrestlers
as they fought off hunger pangs throughout the
season. The grapplers efforts were rewarded in

the end, as they attained a 9-1 dual meet record,
suffering their only loss to Highland.

Under the guidance of new head coach, Keith
Morran, the wrestlers jumped from a fourth to
first in sectionals. Juniors Ed Alt and Dennis Flynn
gained individual firsts in sectionals along with
seniors Gino Pupillo and Marino Tsirtsis. In re-

Spirit and support of the team was upheld by
senior co-captains Cino Pupillo and Matt Welsh.
The junior varsity team was successful in

For those students who wanted a break from
the boredom of every day and night school
work, a special kind of activity was organized.

Instead of coming home from school and
watching "The Three Stooges," or being glued to
the boob-tube Tuesday evenings idolizing Fon-
zie on "Happy Days," students could choose an-
other route and take an active interest in the in-
tramural program. Lasting from November 1 to
May 3, approximately 250 students were in-
volved in boy's and girl's volleyball, basketball or
ping-pong.

"The actual purpose of intramurals is to open
up the facilities to students who otherwise
couldn't use them," stated intramural director

Coach Steve Wroblewski. "Also, the program al-
lows students to participate in activities which
they couldn't make at the varsity level."

For the first time, girls were involved in intra-
murals. "There was excellent involvement with
the girls in volleyball, but their interest slacked
off in the basketball season when it is difficult to
run a mixed league," commented Coach Wrob-
lewski. "The participants took the games seri-
ously, caring about win-lost records."

Although all of the intramural programs are
self-supporting, ribbons or trophies were
awarded to each of the winning teams or indi-
viduals at the end of the season.

Intramurals 169

It's the first meet of the season,
all the new Girls' Timing
Organizations (GTO) members
have their stop watches readied,
the gun is about to go off. Bang!
Oh no! The timer in the fifth lane
forgot to start her watch, and the
third lane's GTOer didn't reset her
watch after the last race. But these
were first year rookies at the
beginning of the season, and after
a few months they learned their
duties. Thank heavens for the
second and third year veterans
who backed the interns in their
first meets. Coaches of the
swimming, wrestling, and track
teams experienced similiar
problems in each of the seasons.

Swimming GTO participated in
many activities. Decorating houses
with multi-colored toilet paper in
the wee hours of the morning,
writing secret admirer letters, and
performing at pep sessions were
tasks taken on by the timers. The
girls received carnations for their
efforts for the swimmers for the

last home meet and first choice of
state swim meet tickets when an
unexpected shortage arose.

The track timers adopted a new
uniform which was both
comfortable and fashionable. The
girls worked at the meets in painter
pants and new red polo shirts. The
Girls' Varsity Track Team was also
included in the timers schedule of
events as they also participated in
the girls four home meets.

The mat maids were responsible
for keeping score on a chalk board
and throwing in the towel to signal
the end of each match. On
numerous occasions they were
compelled to drag themselves out
of bed in order to participate in a
TP-ing session or to attend a
Saturday morning meet.

By the end of the individual
season the first year GTO'ers had
gained enough experience to join
the veterans in training the new
arrivals that the following season
would bring.

Unfortunate circumstances due to injuries and
lack of participants were well compensated for
as the trackmen left the season with a 7-5 dual
meet record. The team was led by three senior
co-captains, Tom Hafner, Bob Kolas, and John
Wickman. An outstanding performance this
season was made by senior Paul Lippie when a
day after returning from a broken arm, he placed
fourth in conference, and two days later placed

highest point total, 58, making 118 points and

season.

More outstanding efforts were shown, as the
team placed sixth in conference and eighth in
sectionals. Another highlight of the season was

record in the discus throw.

Practice after school everyday and a new
coach were some of the important parts of the
Girls Track team as they ended the season with a
10-2 season record. With the guidance of Head
Coach Dennis Spangler and Assistant Coach Bob
Shinkan practices were held outside, weather
permitting.

Junior Annette Masolak and sophomores
Lydia Megremis and Toni Gray helped to make
the season successful, ending with a 5-2 record.
Annette and Lydia competed in the 100, 440, and
880 relays with Toni in the softball throw. Crown
Point and Highland proved to be the teams'

toughest opponents as they could not beat
them. The girls also failed to beat them in the
Lake Suburban Conference where they placed
3rd. The girls then took 3rd in sectionals.

Regionals were a disappointment, where they
only had one eligible for the state meet. Toni
placed 3rd in the softball throw. Annette placed
6th in the 100 yard dash and the relay team of
Annette and sophomores Debbie Kucer, Kim
Duhon and Lydia placed 4th. Coach Spangler
summed up the year by saying “all the girls gave
150%, which makes them all champs."

How you manipulate your woods, irons,
wedges and putters through tree lined fairways,
mucky water hazards and a somewhat
disasterous sandtrap, depend on how successful
a golfer you will be. The Boy's Varsity Golf team
proved they had the skill and ability as they
ended their regular season with an undefeated
22-0 record.

With regular season play over in May, the
golfers entered sectional and regional play with
hopes of earning titles in the competition.
Despite early season cold, windy days and some
of the rain delays and muddy courses, the boys

pulled through with a 12-0 winning streak to
sweep the Lake Suburban Conference crown.
Returning lettermen seniors, Andy Fox, John Dal
Santo and Kris Ford were all-conference winners
with an average score of 37.8.

Under the leadership of Coach Ed Musselman
and Assistant Coach Ross Haller, the team set a
new school record of 143, as seniors Dave
Miscus and Andy each shot 33's, three under par,
to lead the team to an overall one under par
score. Later in

the 'Stangs sports scene in the spring. Many
thrilling victories with an exception of a few
disappointing losses, plus the backing of avid

finale, the Mustangs vigorously fought to upend

defending League champion Morton to put
them in a tie for first place. At the end of
regulation play, the game became tied 2-2, with

Something as small and insignificant as a
blister on a hand can disrupt a pitcher's control
and timing. He might even be riding the bench
for a while. A .350 hitter can be flung into a
hapless and hitless slump if there is an inch
difference in his batting stance. Precision-a

Various injuries can transform a championship

team into a cellar, last place club. Something as
minor as a sprained finger or sore ankle can hurt

192 Personalized Sports

When the beginning of September rolled
around, everyone could tell that fall had arrived.
Of course, school had begun, but more signifi-
cantly neighborhood football games began to
appear and throughout the evenings the streets
were jammed with Schwinn 10-speed bikes.

Although not everyone was involved in school
athletics, almost everyone found time to do their
"own thing," whether it was tennis, football, or
jogging. Elliott School was busy every Sunday
because of the rivalries between neighboring
football teams. With the 14 available tennis
courts open all spring, summer, and fall, there
was always a chance to practice on the latest
backhand and net shots.

But even when the mercury started to drop,
students did not stop participating in their sport
activities. At Omni 41, with its eight indoor tennis
courts, ice rinks, swimming pool, gymnastics
equipment, and health club, almost anyone
could find his sporting pleasure. On Monday and
Wednesday nights, the fieldhouse was crowded
with exercise-conscience teens. For those who
wanted to participate in gymnastics, the local
YMCA provided a program for those interested
in both competition and intramurals.

When the winter snow arrived, baseball bats

were hidden away in closets, and snow skis were
once again waxed and polished. The Pines in
Valporaiso, being the closest ski area, was busy
throughout the week and especially on the
weekends. For those with more experience and/
or gasoline, resorts like Alpine Vally and Wilmot
Mountain provided the needed challenge and
opportunities. For students with a not-so-good
sense of balance, there was always tobaggoning
at the Dunes or at one of the many state parks.
Ice skating at Wicker Park, Community Park of
Omni attracted many weekend athletes.

As the warmer weather returned, outdoor
sports began to appear once again. The greatest
stand-by of summer was, of course, swimming,
at either a pool or in Lake Michigan. The beaches
became packed as with people skiing, sunbath-
ing, sailing, or just floating on waves or rafts. On
hot days you could find more frisbees sailing
through the air than on toy store shelves.

With June's arrival, school was through for an-
other three months. Students turned in their uni-
forms and picked up their own sporting equip-
ment. Gone were the matches and meets
between schools, but the competition and en-
joyment of individual sports continued.

These dumbies who come in

leave paper toweling clogging
my sinks, and wreck my furniture. Not
to mention the smelly sweats,
uniforms, and equipment shoved into
my lockers. What do they think I am!
I'm a locker room, not a garbage
dump!

I wish these players would use
better manners and etiquette. The
way they treat one another, one
would think they are arch-enemies,
not teammates and friends. Imagine
being the recipient of a "swirlie",
"snuggie", or an atomic bomb spray
from one's so-called loyal friend!

It is even dangerous to enter my
doors alone anymore. This is
especially true during football season
on the "senior kill sophomore" day.

Usually the custodial staff keep my
showers sparkling, spic-n-span clean.
But when those idiots decide to have
sliding races in the shower or towel
fights after a victory, look out! It is
even worse after I've been tp-ed
before a game. There are signs hung

on my walls with streamers and toilet
paper thrown all over, even between
the shower stalls. You can just
imagine the showers after my water
has been turned on without cleaning
the mess up. Yick!

Talk about minds and language in
the gutter; my poor ears! It's not just
that, it's listening to the nicknames,
"coined phrases", and those dumb
stories about other players. If I EVER
hear another thing about "gambling",
"glory boy 1 and 2", "Ragman",
"Monk", "Jeeagg", or "Ironman", I'll
just totally collapse!

I serve various purposes. A coach
may find me the perfect place to take
out his "first half" aggressions. During
halftime, if we're losing, my sides hurt
from being kicked, and my ears are
just ringing from all the yelling and
screaming. Other times, when we're
ahead, there is a different kind of
locker room atmosphere.

The players are content, and the
coach points out mistakes, yet
encourages them to keep up the
good work. And when we win, the
whole place goes crazy. The
celebration lasts longer than the game
itself. This is the one time I really
enjoy myself.

Sometimes I can't even breathe. On
some days, there is athletic tape
covering every inch of my locker
door, sealing me shut. If this is their
idea of a fun time, I'm not laughing.
Other times, I get slightly water-
logged. Wet towels and suits, and
runny shampoo bottles are often
thrown in my lockers or on my floor. I

might catch a cold or even worse, a
case of pneumonia.

I also have a good friend on the
other side of the fieldhouse, the girl's
locker room. Now, she is treated
really well! Never does she hear dirty
words, screaming or shouting. And
the girls that go in there are
respectable and have some manners.
After home games, meets, or
matches, the girl's serve refreshments
to the opposing team. How nice!
Cookie crumbs are about the extent
of her "poor housekeeping". It's just
not fair; while I'm getting kicked or
getting rotten oranges thrown on my
walls, the worse that may happen to
her is baby powder sprinkled all
about after a "perfume and powder

fight"! The player's in the girl's locker ;

room at least use their garbage cans.

Well, all and all, it's not too bad.
Although I complain, I guess boys will
be boys, and girls will be girls. What
can I say?! I kinda like the attention! If
the boy's and girl's locker rooms
weren't around, what would the
players and coaches do? What fun
would they have?!

Faces

Have you ever just'watched people go
by? If you haven't, you should try it
some time-you'd be surprised at what
you'd find.

Aside from the average Betty Basics,
you'd find a wide assortment of charac-
ters ranging from the shy violet, who
cowers in the back corner of the class-
room ... to the rowdy who is in the
middle of everything . . . And, contrary
to popular belief, teachers are human
beings with personalities often very
much like the students they teach . . .

But no matter how diverse they all
may seem, they still find themselves
wondering what the future will bring.

Teachers' minds consist of more than
just the whirls, clicks, and punches of a
computer. A closer look provides stu-
dents with a different insight of teachers'
characters.

Part of teachers' spare time was con-
centrated on researching information to
prepare for the next day's lecture. In ad-
dition, their jobs included sponsoring
clubs, coaching sports, and directing
plays. Their outside activities extended
past the textbooks to other areas such as
scuba diving and jogging or traveling
abroad. Teachers are real people, they
eat hamburgers, wear Levis, go to parties
and football games just like students.

They experience similar situations and
problems, and suffer from injured feel-
ings, the same as students.

“My old yearbook— I haven't looked
at this in years . . . There's my favorite
science teacher. He helped me in many
ways, and today I really appreciate it."

While students attend high school,
they rate their teachers from boring to
stimulating or from helpful to indifferent.
However, if a teacher leaves a lasting im-
pression on a student, he will often be
remembered for his pleasant manner or
captivating stories rather than his proof
of the Pythagorean theorem. The major-
ity of teachers have chosen their career
because they “enjoy working with
young people."

Think of yourself 25 years after gradu-
ation-will one outstanding teacher have
made a striking difference in your life or
perhaps left a pleasant memory?

“Munster didn't have a pep club, and I
wanted to see one get started!" said Mrs.
Jill Koelling, art teacher, Pep Club and
Drill Team sponsor.

Among the 75 faculty members, 37
helped students as coaches or sponsors.
Ten of these 37 staff members were in
charge of more than one group. Senior
Class sponsor, Mr. Jerry Schroeder
laughed as he talked about his reasons
for sponsoring the class, “It certainly
wasn't the money that made me want to
be a sponsor. When I was in high school,
I appreciated the teachers who helped
out and I really like kids, that's why I'm a
teacher."

Head Football Coach John Friend
stated that the biggest problem of
coaching is the final results of the sport-
ing event. The game either builds up the
team morale or a negative attitude.
Coach Friend feels coaching is like an-
other full time job. “It takes as much
time outside of football practice to plan
the practice as it does to hold the
practice."

Mr. Schroeder summed the feelings of
most sponsors and coaches when he
said "As in every activity you have about
10% to 15% of all the students who carry
the rest of the class. Sometimes students
are very trying, but overall it's been most
enjoyable working with them."

Dear Diane,

Wow! You wouldn't believe how
big this school is. There's more kids in
my graduating class than there was in
our entire school. I've never seen so
many people crowd into the halls be-
tween classes, you feel like a sardine.
The really big difference is that all the
kids don't mix together, they stick to
their own group. It's like there was a
barrier or something. Heck if I know
which group I fit into, so I'm kinda
lost.

Last Friday I thought I was going
crazy! Every class I went to has a dif-

ferent cheerleader. You might not be-
lieve this, but I really thought there
were at least 40 cheerleaders! Three-
fourths of my lunch table was made
up of those cheerleaders who all sat
together and talked about the rou-
tines and their weekend plans. So I
began talking to one of them and she
told me that this was just the Drill
Team that performed during half-
times and boy did I feel stupid! She
asked me if I had any plans for after
the game and, like always, I didn't.
Since there wasn't a party or a dance,
she asked me to come to her house

with a few of her other friends. I have
never felt so out of place! For one
thing I wasn't wearing red and white,
let alone a uniform, and I wasn't ter-
ribly interested in hearing about rou-
tines. By this time I made the con-
clusion that I didn't fit in with the Drill
Team crowd.

Oh yes, we have your basic rahs
and they're the same as they were at
home. They go out with the football,
basketball, and/or baseball players.
They usually have somebody different
each and every week.

Then we have our jocks, the big let-
termen, and believe me, they pack to-
gether. You can spot them easily with
their letter sweaters and painter's
pants or their overalls and jerseys.
Some of them, commonly known as
the rednecks, get their kicks out of ei-
ther causing trouble or getting some-
one else in a lot of trouble. Some
people are strange!

Oh, let me tell you about this one
kid; the biggest brownie you ever
saw! He's in my German class and he
constantly has his hand up and con-
stantly brown noses the teacher. To
him (at least), everyone else is wrong
but the teacher, who's always perfect.
He even stays after school to help her
grade papers and do bulletin boards.

I met the nicest guy yesterday, but
he's not the type you bring home to
mother. He's one of those hood
types. You know, the ones who might
come to class about once a week,
wear dirty, grubby jeans that look as if
they haven't been washed in a year,
and the old army or jean jackets.
They're always getting suspended for
catching a smoke between classes or
ditching now and then. I've looked
for him at games and dances, but you
know this type, they would rather die
than be seen at a school sponsored
activity. I would love to go out with

him, but you know how I break out in
red spots since I am allergic to smoke.

It seems like I'll never fit into these
cliques, so I'll just stick to this little
group I started hanging around with. I
really feel privileged to be part of
them, they make me feel wanted.
They're just your average bunch of
kids who didn't make it in any other
groups. The only thing I can't under-
stand is why our little group doesn't
hang around with others. Another bad
thing is that I feel like I'm letting them
down if I make plans with somebody
else. Just the other day, one of my
friends started going out with this
really cute guy, but the others got so
upset. It's like she broke up our little
group or something. I'm afraid to
make plans on my own because I
think they will get mad and won't
bother counting me in on their activi-
ties or secrets. It seems like they al-
ways know who they will be with and
what they will be doing every
weekend.

I can't believe the big difference
such a short distance makes. Why
can't everybody just hang around to-
gether and do just about the same
thing and share common interests?

Oh well, study hall is almost over so
take care and write back soon. Tell
EVERYONE I said hi.

Miss ya.

Freshman plan

No longer considered to be in the transition
phase between grade school and high school,
the class of 77 moved up another rung on the
ladder facing the problems freshmen in high
school must confront.

Freshmen Class Officers got a late start
since they were elected only two weeks be-
fore Homecoming, and their sponsor wasn't
named until four days after that. Because of
these two factors, freshmen money making
projects got off to a late start. Plans for bake
sales, a dance, and a walk-a-thon were dis-
cussed by their class sponsor and officers. Mr.
Stone explained that though raising money for
next year's Homecoming float comes first, any
extra money they earned would go toward a
field trip to Chicago for the class.

According to Mr. Stone, the freshmen
worked very well together. He felt proof of
this was how they were able to complete the
Homeccming Dance plans and decorations in
the short two weeks they had to prepare for it.

Footsteps of hundreds of Freshmen accom-
panied by their parents echoed through the
auditorium as they chose seats and waited for
Freshmen Orientation to begin.

Students were acquainted with the school
and it's policies at the assembly. Mr. John
Tennant, assistant principal, headed the pro-
gram, and Dr. Karl Hertz, principal, delivered
the welcoming speech. Information regarding
schedules, functions, and purpose of the
Guidance Department were fully explained to
the audience as the program got under way. It
was the job of Student Senate president senior
Gail Rovai, to explain the objectives of various
clubs and the athletic program. Near the pro-
gram's end, information concerning the distri-
bution of report cards, registration for student
insurance, proper school attire, and the build-
ing hours were presented. Student Senate
members took incoming freshmen through
the halls pointing out classes and answering
questions directed to them.

of wild animals, a flying trapeze show, clowns
and circus acts in every corner. It may seem
impossible, but this scene came to life as the
Freshman Class created a “Circus World" for
the Homecoming dance.

Decorating for the dance was the fresh-
men's major responsibility, but their duties
also included providing refreshments, ap-
pointing 12 girls to serve, checking coats, and
asking teachers to act as chaperones. With the
$125 given to them by the Student Senate,
they had to purchase all food and decorating
supplies. In addition, class members obtained
food donations from local businesses.

Although the dance was switched to the
cafeteria after complete arrangements were
made for it to be held in the commons, all
planned decorations were eventually finished.
Afterward, math teacher and class sponsor,
Mr. Scott Stone, commented, he was "as-
tounded by the amount of work done."

My hands turned hot and sweaty. Now was
that 45L-3R-24L or 45R-3L-24R? It didn't mat-
ter anyway, the locker was jammed and I had
to catch a janitor later.

I quickly sprinted down the hall with books
in one hand and computer card schedule in
the other. Confused and lost, I headed for first
hour. Somehow I managed to struggle
through my morning science class, overcome
a french fry fight in lunch and spend the after-
noon on developing thesis statements and
supports for English composition.

After the 3:08 bell rang, I sighed with relief. I
only had 176 days left of my freshman year
ahead of me.

Prom headstart

Building a float, ordering class rings, and
raising money for next year's Prom kept the
Class of 78 busy for the year. The 463 soph-
omores worked to get a good head start on
making money for the upcoming Prom. By
holding a car wash and several bake sales dur-
ing the summer the sophomores increased
their funds. A dance in )anuary helped to sup-
plement the needed cost for the decorations,
band, and favors.

Problems arose in trying to raise enough
money for Prom. According to Mr. David Rus-
sell, class sqonsor, "We can't seem to find
enough good ways to make money. We need
more ways to make a large sum of money all
at one time."

Sophomores experienced the challenges of
constructing their first Homecoming float as
they learn the responsibilities of working to-
gether on a major class project.

"Eat 'Em Up Lion Down" was the theme
chosen by the Class of 78. Their float de-
picted a lion, down on all fours, with a Red
Devil under its front paw.

Both lumber and chicken wire were do-
nated to the class, but according to Mr. David
Russell, Sophomore Class sponsor, they spent
close to $300 on paper, nails, and caution
lights for the eyes. He also stated that they
had no problems with the paper shortage.
"We only ran out of paper once, our supply of
brown diminshed the night before the parade.
We needed brown for the mane, but we de-
cided to fill it in with white instead."

Getting a flatbed with the right dimensions
created the greatest problem. The class
wanted a 20 foot bed, but instead they ac-
quired a 32 foot semi flatbed.

According to Mr. Russell, 75 to 80 people
were at the float each night. "We had great
class participation. There just wasn't enough
to do each night that would make it possible
for everyone to work at once, so we did have
some of the students standing around talking,
but they weren't interfering with the work."

in first float effort

‘Super Frog’

Watches with eyes that tick away the
seconds and Super Frog T-shirts may sound
like gimmicks for some new comic strip, but
these were the incentives for sophomores to
sell stationery as their main money making
project.

Eighty sophomores went door-to-door to
promote the unique stationery that could also
hang as a poster. A total of 765 units were sold
raising approximately $750 in profit. One of
the major reasons for the project's success
dealt with the bonuses students earned for
their work. Those who sold over 35 units
received a watch with the Bicentennial
symbol Johnny Horizon on the face, whose
eyes move with each second. The fact that the
stationery was 100% recycled paper also
served as a strong selling point.

Although their initial goal of $1000 was not
achieved, the Sophomore Class did increase
their treasury for future Prom expenses and
helped to act as a link between the school and
the community with neighborhood sales.

Presentation, lime and effort
mean rewards for those who
participate in the Super Frog
stationery sale, as sophomores
Ruth Morrison, Dalia Sidabras,
Yvonne Klootwyk, and Lisa
Hieber test out their new
watches awarded to them by
•• class sponsor, Mr. David
Russell.

final choice

‘ 1 want a ruby

When springtime rolled around, it was easy
to tell who was the most sought after man of
the Sophomore Class— the Balfour man.

Pink and blue plastic size rings began to ap-
pear on the fingers of sophomores, w'ho tried
to decide the proper size for class rings. The
constant humming of “carat gold or sterling
silver?", “star flame or star burst?", could be
heard in the halls.

Before, during, and after school, the halls
were filled with lines of anxious sophomores,
gripping an order blank in one hand and a
check in the other.

Sophomores had to make important deci-
sions on color, size, cut, and inscription.

Charm sales

Most people think sponsoring a class in
high school is a lot of trouble, but accord-
ing to Mr. George Pollingue, the Junior
Class sponsor, “its tremendous!"

The Class of 77' s main objective was to
raise money for prom and the home-
coming float. During March, a Charm su-
cker sale was held and $70 raised, while in
January, a dance featuring "Stonewood
Fox" helped to build up the treasury. Mr.
Pollingue also sponsored the Powder Puff
football game. Although the juniors re-
ceived most of the proceeds, the senior
girls got most of the glory when they beat
the juniors 20-7.

First place went to the Class of 77 for
their clown float which stated "Those
Clowns are in for a Bang!" "We were ahead
of the other classes in getting supplies for
the float," said Mr. Pollingue.

Prom's theme of "Precious and Few" was
created through favors and music.

place float

Anticipation and excitement mounts as
half-time rolls around. Everyone listens in
hushed silence to the results of the float
competition and wonders how the long
evenings of folding flowers, hammering
nails, and cutting wire will turn out in rela-
tion to their efforts in construction.

As halftime drew near, students began to
leave their seats in order to ride on their
float out onto the field. Over the crackle of
the microphone, first place was awarded to
the junior Class. Joyful cries and sighs of re-
lief went up form the junior section of the
pep block. In their second year of float
competition, the juniors came out on top.

An early start proved beneficial for the
junior Class. With the theme of "Circus
World," juniors voted on and selected
"Those Clowns Are In For A Bang" for their
float theme. Overall participation proved
satisfactory as the guys and girls banned to-
gether to build and complete their float
with time to spare. With the aid of sponsor,
Mr. George Pollingue, last minute details
were straightened out before the parade.
Their main difficulty was in making the fire
cracker the right size.

After spending $240. on the float, they
were left with $100 in the treasury and a
first place plaque to their name.

As a large fund raising event for prom and a
new homecoming tradition, the second an-
nual Powder Puff football game was held be-
tween the junior and senior girls.

Junior Class sponsor, Mr. George Pollingue,
coached the junior's offense, while Mr. Bob
Maicher instructed the girls' defense. How-
ever, the originators of the Powder Puff game,
the Class of '76, kept their record clean as they
defeated the Class of '77, 20-7. The Junior
Class received 60 percent of the profits, which
totaled approximately $350.

Tickets were sold by each girl for one dollar.

Richard Simeoni, senior, was crowned Powder
Puff King during halftime ceremonies.

Prom mood

Greeting your escort at the door, ex-
changing nosegays and boutonnieres, and
dancing to the closing melody— these mo-
ments were "Precious and Few" for those
who attended Prom, as the Junior Class tried
to create a "slow and romantic theme that
people will remember."

Prom was the major responsibility for the
Junior Class, and preparations for the festivi-
ties began months beforehand. Committees
were formed to select and print invitations,
choose bands and favors, and create and ar-
range decorations. Bake sales and car washes
helped to provide funds, since only $1000
existed in the class treasury as the dance drew
near. Couples were charged $25 for tickets,
and this relieved some of the burden on the
class.

When Prom night arrived, all the planning
became a reality. A decorated fieldhouse was
the scene of Prom where "Stonewood Fox"
provided the music, and brandy snifters were
distributed as favors. After much investigation
about its size and location, Wellman's Bridge-
Vu Theater in Valporaiso was once again cho-
sen to be the site of Post-Prom.

Reserving bands and coping with rising
costs presented minor obstacles in Prom
preparations, but the dance went on as sched-
uled, and Prom couples shared those mo-
ments considered "Precious and Few."

attain merit

To spend three hours reading paragraphs and solv-
ing problems, then to fill out long and involved forms,
and finally to endure another testing session may
seem like cruel and unusual punishment. However, for
six seniors, these efforts were rewarded as they were
chosen as National Merit Scholarship Finalists.

Students became eligible for the National Merit
Scholarship competition by taking the PSAT/NMSQT
in the fall of their junior year. Greg Elkman, Pete
Haines, Bill Reister, Dave Snyder, John Watson, and
Sue Weinberg were among those who placed highest
on the test in the state and gained the honor as Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Semifinalists. However, to ad-
vance to finalist, these students had many require-
ments to meet, which included getting
recommendations from the high school, achieving
equivalently high scores on the SAT, and filling out ap-
plications. These questions covered the students' ac-
tivity in such areas as publications, athletics, and per-
formance and an essay in which they were to describe
themselves.

In February, the finalists were notified, thus quali-
fying them for scholarships sponsored by the Merit
Program, colleges, and corporations. By the end of the
year, scholarship winners were announced, and the
process of working, writing, and waiting came to an
end.

their lesson

Everyone knew something was up. Six girls walking
around the school, clad in Letterman sweaters and
long pleated skirts strongly resembled cheerleaders of
the 50's. As the day wore on, the teachers started to
make nervous mistakes and many cases of jitters set
in. Soon students began to realize and remember the
occasion. It was the night of rivalry, the basketball
game between the seniors and the faculty, the decid-
ing factor determining who was the strongest in

school.

As 7:30 rolled around, the fieldhouse began to fill
up. While the players assembled on the court, an-
nouncer senior John McCormick, introduced players
by their various nicknames, Black jack, Mr. Meno,
Sweet William, just to mention a few and many others.

Beginning with the jump, the faculty took the lead
and despite the clowing around, the seniors were un-
able to maintain a lead.

To entertain the spectators, cheerleaders did cheers
which originated out of “Happy Days". Pyramids built
by seniors Cheri Parker, Michelle Mezey, Shari Smith,
Becky Breaz, Stacy Winterfeldt, and Karen Backe
helped to promote halftime spirit.

The game ended with a final score of 55-49 in favor
of the faculty. With an admission price of $1, all profits
from the game went to commencement.

Jeans fade to

The lights began to dim and a hush fell over the
crowd of seniors as they anxiously awaited the an-
nouncement that would cause them to approach the
podium in order to receive their awards. Tension
mounted as the "big" awards for the biggest gossip,
most gullible, and the shyest seniors were presented.

The Class of 76 chose the House of Lynwood to
host the non-school sponsored senior banquet. A buf-
fet style dinner, followed by the awards presentation
highlighted the evening's act. Entertainment was pro-
vided by M & R Rush. The Music continued from 8 to
11 where students had the opportunity to dance with
some of their senior teachers who were chaperones at
the banquet. The price of the tickets was set at $8.

2 a senior?

"Sugar and spice and all that's nice, that's what little
girls are made of." This quote easily sums up the quali-
ties of small children, but it is not so simple to explain
the characteristics of the Senior Class.

Seniors have established themselves as the leaders
of most school functions. Although extra-curricular
activities offer enjoyment for all students, seniors con-
trol the major offices in many organizations, including
clubs, sports, and student government.

Along with the senior status, comes the fulfillment
of graduation requirements. While composition and
government classes provide challenge and pleasure
for some, others find them grueling experiences. How-
ever, as a reward for these efforts, seniors may receive
the privilege of early release, when they may leave one
to three hours early to get a part-time job, spend addi-
tional hours studying, or just have extra free time.

Senior year was marked by a number of special ac-
tivities. During the summer, boys in coats and ties and
girls with curled hair and colorful blouses made their
debut for Senior Class pictures. Rulers and scratch
marks appeared on the walls in December, as mem-
bers of the Class of '76 were measured for their caps
and gowns. As spring rolled around, they packed their
bags for Tampa, Florida, the site of the Senior Class
trip. Finally, as the school year drew to a close, the se-
nior banquet was held and students prepared for their
last school activity, graduation.

During their four years of high school, students may
build close ties with friends and faculty members or
remain basicly isolated. But when that Sunday at the
end of May finally arrived, commencement served as
the unifying force that bound the Senior Class for the
last time. In the next few weeks, the juniors of '76 be-
came the leaders of '77, and the cycle of senior superi-
ority began once again.

Jobs, TV, g

Jane, Jim, and Joan, typical high school seniors, all
share the same privilege. When the bell rings at 12:34
to end fourth hour, their school day is over. Because
they registered for early release, they are free to
choose their afternoon activities. The opportunities
are varied, and these three students spend their time
in different ways.

Jane rushes home in time to prepare a quick lunch
before she sits down for an afternoon with The Doc-
tors, General Hospital, and One Life to Live. After
having a good cry over the traumas of all the charac-
ters, she moves on to her studies. She can't wait any
longer, since that 12 paragraph theme is due for com-
position tomorrow. But before she starts, she must call
Sally and remind her of her shopping date for the next
afternoon.

As Jim drives out of the parking lot, he heads for
McDonald's. After devouring a Big Mac, fries, and a
shake, he returns to the fieldhouse, ready for an after-
noon workout. First he lifts weights, shoots a few bas-
kets, and then jogs around the track before hitting the
showers and heading for home.

Joan spends her afternoons on the job. Employed as
a part-time clerk at one of the nearby clothing stores
she works five hours a day after school. It serves as
great experience for her, since she hopes to go into
merchandising or fashion design after college. In addi-
tion, the money she earns will be put toward the Se-
nior Class trip and eventually be used for college
expenses.

Early release is a privilege that seniors have, and
most other students wish they shared. Whether it's a
job or any other activity, early release is a chance for
seniors to gain a little more independence before go-
ing to college, acquiring a full-time job, or starting a
family.

Efill free afternoons

and I’m sick

C/5

Sammy's mind was occupied with an important
matter. Not with the government essay test he had
next hour or even that fight he had with his girlfriend.
His mind was on a more current and important mat-
ter: his ditching excuse for the day.

"Let's see, I had a doctor's appointment last week
and I had the flu the week before, so I don't suppose I
could be sick again.'' he thought.

Excuses varied from doctor and orthodontist ap-
pointments to tire blowouts. Once a mother called the
office and asked if her son could leave since the dog
was loose and she was sick in bed.

So when your teacher says "Don't tell me the dog
ate your essay, and you took him to the vet," don't
laugh. That is just the excuse some students may use.

Caught in the Act. An un-
known forger is caught as
she writes an excuse for
grself from the class she
d the previous day.

gin Florida

Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, California, and
Mexico were all suggested as possible locations for
the Senior Class trip. Class Officers found themselves
busy visiting various travel agencies to gather the
necessary information regarding hotels, costs, and
transportation.

First choice for the trip was a ranch near Tuscon
Arizona, but reservations weren't made early enough,
so the seniors had to find a new site. Instead, seniors
decided to visit Tampa, Florida for 7 days, March 19
through 26. Thirty-eight seniors signed up for the trip
which credited the Class of 76 with the largest
number of people ever to go on a class trip. A $50.00
deposit was required to be made by all that planned
to go on the trip.

The total cost of the trip was $243.88 and included
transportation on a Northwest Airlines 747 jet to and
from Florida, hotel accommodations, and
transportation to tourist attractions. Among the places
visited by the seniors were Walt Disney World, Busch
Gardens, Greek Village, Bartke's Dinner Theater, and
the Columbia Spanish Restaurant. The class officers
made arrangements to stay at the Causeway Inn,
which, was equipped with not only a sauna, and a
steam bath, but a pool, and a beach across the street.

from his home in Norway to expand
his knowledge of United States
culture.

Exchange student

To be accepted in the AFS foreign exchange pro-
gram is a high honor, but to Rune Myhre it also en-
tailed a two day notice to pack and leave his home in
Fauske, Norway for a year in America, and a new life
style experience.

To try out for the American Field Service exchange
program. Rune and his parents had to write a paper
describing himself, in addition to completing the many
application forms. Although Rune was a finalist, he
was not informed of his destination or any last-minute
details of his trip.

Rune's traveling time consisted of ten hours by
plane, ten hours by car, eight hours by train, and 18
hours by bus to reach his new family in Munster, at the
home of Bob Young.

Although each country has its own special charac-
teristics, Rune also noticed some similiarities between
the teenagers of Norway and America. A teen in
Fauske might spend his Friday night doing the same
thing as many MHS students, by attending a dance
and heading for a party afterward. The two countries
contrast each other most iin the area of food. In Nor-
way, most meals are cooked from scratch, not from
the convenient boxes and cans that America thrives

on.

Mastering a new language while taking the required
senior courses provided quite a challenge for Rune.
Although he received grades for his work, he received
no credit since he must repeat his senior year after he
returns home to his family in Norway.

Out at 12:30 with the whole afternoon to look
forward to, it's no wonder that many seniors were on
the lookout for jobs.

jobs took up extra free time, but held a more
important purpose to earn for college, trips, or
everyday expenses. Those seniors that graduated first
semester often sought a full-time job. Many started
college early on campus or at Purdue Calumet,
Indiana Northwest, or Calumet College.

McDonalds, Sterks, Legs and Ears, and Jewel were
among the nearby business that hired high school
students for part time work. Those students working
full-time either instead of or before attending college,
found employment at lumber yards and steel mills
while many girls acquired secretarial positions with
their typing and shorthand skills.

Ad'ing

Mom always used to send me on errands
. . . She always needed a few things for din-
ner, or Frieda's birthday party, or a light
bulb for the hall lamp . . . These little trips
rarely took me beyond Munster's limits . . .

But all my trips paid off with mom trad-
ing my labor for her car on the weekends
. . . A bunch of us would go out driving
around to the hamburger joints and then
we'd usually stop at a grocery store to pick
up some toilet paper to TP a few houses . . .

In our own way, we helped support
community businesses and keep their
economies stable. In this year of financial
mayhem, local stores struggled to maintain
confidence in their ability to continue to
provide their services to the Calumet Re-
gion. Still they were found trying to predict
where business will go from here.

Specifications

The 1976 Paragon was created
through the efforts of a 36 member staff.
We wish to express our thanks to some
very special people for their assistance
during the past year ... Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Powers for housing and helping
with our first annual picnic and our first
place Homecoming car . . . Mr. George
Kingsley, Paragon sales representative,
for his time and encouragement
throughout deadlines ... Mr. and Mrs.
Francis Backe for allowing us the use of
their home for the staff Christmas party
. . . The Art Department for all its help . . .
Brian Rasmus for his cover design ... the
office help for handling our finances,
phone calls, and mail ... Dr. Karl Hertz,
Mr. James Bawden, and Mr. John Ten-
nant for their tolerance of late-night
deadlines and staff rowdiness ... the
Compass and Paul Cress for their Girl's
State Volleyball pictures . . . Mr. Robert
Hastings for putting up with late sup-
pers, and staff deadlines . . . And espe-
cially to Mrs. Nancy Hastings our ex-
treme gratitude for her guidance, time,
patience, and most of all humor
throughout the year.

1976 Paragon was printed by Paragon
Press in Montgomery, Alabama on 80
pound Calias paper. Each section had a
distinct and different layout style. Activi-
ties had one column of copy on the left
side of the spread with the headline
rounded around the corner. Academics
had an eyeline above the three columns
of copy which alternated sides every
new division. Athletics overlapped the
dominant picture. Organizations had a
three stack headline with a rounded sub-
head over two columns of copy. Person-
alities had copy on the top of either right
or left-hand page in the corner with a
sharp cornered headline around it. Ad-
vertising had dotted tool lines around
each ad and its headline to make them
resemble coupons.

All body copy was 10 point Optima

Medium with black, as all captions and
kickers were 8 point Optima Medium
with black. All headlines were set with
FORMATT type with the exception of
Ads addresses, which were 18 and 14
point Optima Medium. Headline types
included in the book are as follows: Ac-
tivities 36 and 24 point FORMATT
#5614; Athletics 48 point FORMATT
#5617; Academic 48 and 24 point FOR-
MATT #5650, 5649; Organizations 48
point FORMATT #5571, subhead 24
point FORMATT #5545; Personalities 48

point FORMATT #5475; Advertising 48
point FORMATT #5669 and 36, 24 point
FORMATT #5668. Our Specials
throughout the book used 48 and 36
point FORMATT # 5646; Opening, Divi-
sions, and' Closing headlines were 42
point FORMATT #5368.

Throughout somewhat rushed dead-
lines staff birthday parties, and picnics,
we still couldn't have made it without all
the parent's help, and patience . . .

Thanks Moms!
